feels significant that at age 31, rafa will be #1 again, when people said he would be retired by his mid 20s ☺️☺️☺️

If Nadal wins Cincinnati and reaches US Open 4R, Federer needs to win US Open title to be No. 1 again

Been covering Nadal since the start. Must confess I never thought, with his style & early injury issues, that he'd have this staying power https://t.co/hAvH8ZOx8B

Number of years holding #1 ranking at some point during season:
— Trenton Jocz (@TrentonJocz) August 14, 2017
Connors/Lendl/Sampras/Federer 8
McEnroe/Nadal 7
Djokovic 6
Agassi 5
Borg 4
Rafa Nadal is trending worldwide. Did I expect him 2 win #15 and become #1 at the start of 2017? No! Oh boy! This is all too good 2 be true!
