Rafael Nadal insists he will be just happy if he finishes the season ranked inside the top-5. Nadal, 36, has a legitimate chance at finishing the 2022 season as the Year-End No. 1. Nadal, who is currently the third-ranked player in the world, doesn’t have a single point to defend in the rest of the season.
On the other side, two players ranked ahead of Nadal – Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev – have notable number of points to defend in the rest of the year. “One more year at the age of 36 – finish the year probably, if nothing goes wrong, in the top five,” Nadal said.

“Tennis is a lot about moments,” said Nadal. “The most important thing in this game is when you are playing bad or when the opponent is playing too good, don’t be too far on the score. When you are playing very well, create an advantage, no? It’s about making the things happen in the right moments.
