ANDY MURRAY has thrown his weight behind Rafael Nadal in the ongoing argument about whether the Spaniard or Roger Federer is the best player of all time.
Federer holds 16 grand slam crowns to his rival’s 10 but Nadal has won an Olympic gold medal and the Davis Cup and is nearly five years younger.
Murray said: “Rafa for me is maybe the best.
“He’s won on all of the surfaces and his head-to-head record with Federer is very impressive.”
Federer has dropped to third in the world behind Nadal and Novak Djokovic but the draw placed him in the opposite half to Nadal, opening up the possibility of a fourth SW19 final between the two. The 2007 final, when Federer picked up a fifth successive title, was Nadal’s last defeat at the All England Club.
