Nadal can bounce back, says Becker
DUBAI : Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has no doubts world number two
Rafael Nadal will bounce back from his injury woes to challenge arch rival
Roger Federer next year.
Rohan Alvares, Sports Reporter Published: 00:00 November 19, 2009
After a brilliant start to the year, where the Spaniard beat Federer in a
dramatic Australian Open final, the rest of 2009 turned out to be forgettable
for Nadal. A shock fourth-round exit to Robin Soderling at Roland Garros, a
venue where he hadn't lost in 31 matches, was followed by the world number
two having to miss out on defending his Wimbledon crown after taking a
two-month spell on the sidelines to recover from tendonitis in both knees.
Second-half woes
Nadal recuperated in time for the build-up to the US Open, but was again
plagued by a stomach problem during the year's final slam before losing in
straight sets in the semi-final to eventual winner Juan Martin Del Potro.
But in an interview with XPRESS, Becker said: "We shouldn't forget that the
second half of the season is not on his favourite surface. He's the man for
clay so for him to come back on hard court is always difficult. But he got to
the semis of the US, he had a couple of other semi-finals. He's coming back
and once next season starts, I think he'll be back to his full fitness."
But former world number one Becker believes Nadal and Federer will face stiff
competition not just from each other in 2010, but also from the man who beat
them both on his way to conquering Flushing Meadows.
"After winning the US Open very much so," said the German of Del Potro. He
added: "I want to see him do well in other tournaments. He was injured after
the US Open and hasn't played much. So I want to see him come back for the
year- end masters in London in the O2. I want to see more of him but I think
he's got the potential."

Becker's point is "Hey he came back on his worst surface and still did pretty
damn good" --Summarized by smgoyt5 of VB
