Tennis – Nadal All Set For Ankle Surgery
Rafael Nadal will miss November’s season-finishing ATP Finals in London as he he is all set to have a surgery on his ankle.
Nadal pulled back from a month ago’s Paris Masters with a stomach muscles damage, which means Novak Djokovic supplanted him as world number one.
The Spaniard, 32, said that since he was all the while enduring with that damage, he would “take advantage of the moment” and have a surgery on his ankle.
Novak Djokovic will finish the year as number #1 for the 5th time (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018). Ties Federer and Connors.
Pete Sampras, 6
Jimmy Connors, 5
Roger Federer, 5
Novak Djokovic, 5
John McEnroe, 4
Ivan Lendl, 4
