Present at the "American Business Forum" in Miami, Rafael Nadal discussed the cases of his two former rivals on the tour: Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

Invited on Thursday, November 6, 2025, to the "American Business Forum of Miami," a meeting highlighting several prominent figures from the political, sports, and business worlds, the Spaniard was questioned about the rivalry between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic: two legends he knows better than anyone.

"Roger was a slightly more magical player in terms of pure talent and inspiration, while Novak is someone a bit more hardworking with a work ethic and a winning mentality that are hard to surpass."

Indeed, Nadal experienced this contrast on the court. He suffered its consequences, but also drew the inspiration that led him to his own peaks.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
