Rafael Nadal

In the tennis world; the never-say-day attitude instantly resonates with one man in particular-Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard plays every single point as if he's playing his last. He's known to pull of winners from the unlikeliest of court positions.

Whenever Federer looked to be invincible, Nadal always managed to make him look more human. He is one of only two players to have a winning head-to-head against Federer, the other being Djokovic. He has been called "the best competitor on court" by many of the tennis greats.

Nadal uses a lot of topspin on his forehand, making it one of his best weapons. He thrives on clay and is widely recognized as 'the king of clay'. He belongs to Spain but rules France (winning 11 French Opens in the last 15 years).

Nadal is 32 now. He has at least 2-3 more years of tennis in him and is certainly a contender to win many more slams.
