The Big Names in Tennis Rafael Nadal As of late it appears that the current World No.1 ranked player, Rafael Nadal, is elevating his level of play into his golden age, and at 31 years old at that. AN Infosys ATP Beyond The Numbers analysis of Nadal's play during the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters has revealed that, in his 11 wins of the title, this year was his second-highest percent of total points to take the title. He Won 60.9% of the total points in five matches last week, the highest of any of his 11 titles. http://www.ibtimes.com/inhuman-rafael-nadal-can-be-challenged-only-2-players-clay-2676446 Roger Federer Whilst it appears that there is nobody to challange Nadal on the clay court, Roger Federer has confirmed to play the grass-court event at Stuttgart, as well as previously attended events Halle and Wimbledon.
