It is difficult to say that Novak is better than Nadal in tennis because Nadal has won many Grand Slam titles in his career and even more than Novak. But we can say that recently Novak has improved his level of tennis to reach the top level in ATP ranking. He obtained the best results this year by winning 3 grand slam titles. We have to respect him as a very good tennis player. Today Novak is disappointed because he had a dream at the beginning of this tournament. He dreamt that he would have won the RG 2012. Novak will have another chance the next year to win the RG 2013.
Novak should find consolation because he defeated Federer at RG 2012.
Federer is also a very good tennis player, he won many Grand Slam titles on all surfaces.
Each of these 3 players were at the top of the ATP ranking in their career.
