He has 21 Grand Slam, let\u2019s see if others and Novak [Djokovic] will win more or not. \u201cIt was brilliant to watch his win. I wasn\u2019t surprised but I admire that he is still able to do it and as I say I am not surprised because we know that he is well above everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s proved that he\u2019s able to do things throughout his career that others can\u2019t. \u201cWe saw what happened to Nadal last year, a year full of injuries and it would have been impossible to say he will win Australian Open last year.
