Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest ever and has some big tournaments in his 2021 schedule

Rafael Nadal won the French Open in 2020 but things didn’t go as planned for the Spaniard.

First came the ATP Cup final loss followed by the quarter-final exit at the Australian Open.

Nadal was battling to become the world No 1. However, he was beaten to this by his great rival, Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard would also be keen on getting that 21st Grand Slam title and become the sole leader in that race ahead of Roger Federer.
