Novak Djokovic has his 27th birthday today, and the celebration could help rev him up as the only possible obstacle between Rafael Nadal and the 2013 French Open Title. The Serbian tennis star has had a few slips over the past couple months, but he was able to be one of the only two that could beat Nadal after his superman Rafinator comeback after his knee injury last year.

He’s definitely paying attention why he’s lost against opponents he would normally have beaten rather easily. After his loss against Berdych at the Italian Open, Djokovic said: “I lost concentration and started to play more defensively,” lamented Djokovic. “[I played] a bad game at 5-3 and I made some unforced errors. At this level you have to take advantage of the opportunities and I lost this game by myself.”

Rafael Nadal just keeps on going and today, he took back the Number 4 ranking from David Ferrer after literally trouncing Roger Federer on Sunday 6-1, 6-3 leading him to win his seventh Italian Open. No one, aside from his fans expected the Rafinator to bounce back so well after taking such a long time off due to his knee injury.

It’s been an incredible journey back, and the Spaniard is ready to keep moving up in the rankings. 2013 has been an incredible year and comeback as Nadal has played eight tournaments, making eight finals and six wins. When it was reported that he would skip the Australian Open this past January, everyone was sure it was the beginning of the end…but not so. Even he seems rather surprised at the results.

The Rafael Nadal we’ve been rooting for has definitely come back and proven it at the 2013 Italian Open after taking out both Ernests Gulbis and fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. The Rafinator is looking good to take the prize for the open with some very good chances doing the same at the upcoming French Open.

Nadal is king of the clay courts, but he says it’s been tough with the long back to back matches. By his sidelining himself for so long last year looks to be a very smart move and taking time on his road back seems to be the right thing for him. Fans are more than happy to see him back fighting his way to top form and back in the ranks where we’re used to seeing him.

Number 28 ranked tennis player in the world Grigor Dimitrov surprised everyone by knocking Novak Djokovic out of the 2013 Italian Open. The world’s top ranked player had this to say about the match. “For this tournament, I didn’t prepare myself so good, but I’m not trying to find any excuses,” Djokovic said.

Continuing his winning streak after a slow start earlier this week against Ernests Bulbis, Rafael Nadal took out fellow Spaniard David Ferrer taking him on to the semi-finals. Many were wondering if the tennis star would recover enough after last years sideline from his ankle injury, but he’s proving that’s he’s ready to get back to his old self.

It was a great match and Ferrer gave Nadal a run for his money, but it just wasn’t enough for the Rafinator. Novak Djokovic was surprisingly taken out of the Open by Czech Tomas Berdych, who’ll go up against Rafael now. Djokovic has pretty much let it be known that his poor form guaranteed a French Open triumph for the bounce back tennis star.

Rafael Nadal does what he does best: defeating the odds. Today, six time Spanish tennis champion had one of the worst opening sets of his career but that didn’t seem to affect him. He still came out on top defeating Latvian Ernests Gulbis 1-6, 7-5, 6-4 getting him to the Italian Open quarterfinals. Nadal’s performance, and sometimes sluggish movement on the court, raises questions about whether he will be able to successfully defend his title at the French Open. The year’s second Grand Slam starts in 10 days.

Rafael Nadal may have been out of commission letting his ankle heal for seven months, but as expected, he’s bounced back and won his third Madrid Title after defeating Stanislas Wawrinka. This puts him at five titles since returning to the courts in February. The ankle injury resulted in the Spaniard dropping to a world ranking of number five

After being sidelined for seven months, Nadal has reached seven consecutive finals, winning five. He now has three Madrid titles, but “this victory is even more special considering how complicated this year has been,” Nadal said.

Hard to believe, but for the first time in a decade neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal are in the top two spots for the tennis world ranking. It’s more shocking since these two are simply two of the best tennis players of all time, but Federer still can regain his standing. Nadal won’t be able to get back to his usual place in the world ranks until the Australian Open next season.

Rafael Nadal is being smart in not wanting to rush things after being off the courts since last June, and he confirmed that he might not be making the Australian Open in 2013 like many were hoping for. Raffi did an radio interview that he’s being realistic about getting back on the courts and playing it smart.
