'I think in some way we push each other,' says Rafa Nadal of Roger Federer, who will miss Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
LONDON, England – Rafa Nadal returns to Wimbledon for the first time in three years but it will feel a little odd for the Spaniard who, for the first time at the All England Club, will not have sparring partner Roger Federer for company.
But the 40-year-old will be absent this year as the 36-year-old Nadal seeks to continue his quest for the calendar year Grand Slam, having won the Australian Open and French Open to take his haul of majors to a record 22. “I mean, we shared lot of important things together,” second seed Nadal told reporters on Saturday, June 25. “It’s difficult in some ways to think of tennis in the last 15, 20 years without thinking about the rivalry that we have.
“We’ve been playing in every big stadium, but not in New York, that’s the only thing that bothers me a little bit, that we never played in New York,” Nadal said.
