Toni Nadal has revealed he thought his nephew Rafael Nadal was the favourite in the Grand Slam race, but believes the 2021 French Open outcome has changed his opinion. Novak Djokovic won his 19th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros earlier this month and is now just one behind Nadal and Roger Federer – who both have 20. “The truth is that before Roland Garros I saw Rafael [as the favourite], now the subject has changed a bit,” the Spaniard said in an interview with Marca. “I wrote that the next Wimbledon and US Open are going to define things a bit because I understand that each year it will be more difficult to win. “[Stefanos] Tsitsipas was already on the verge of beating Djokovic in Paris, [Daniil] Medvedev and [Alexander] Zverev are already there, [Jannik] Sinner, [Lorenzo] Musetti are coming.”
