Nadal too good for Kiefer... and possibly anyone else

2:52 pm on 28 July 2008

The Wimbledon and French Open tennis champion Rafael Nadal continues to close the gap on his arch rival Roger Federer.

This morning Nadal beat the German Nicolas Kiefer in straight sets in the final of the Toronto Masters and can overtake Federer as world number one next week, according to ATP calculations.

Should the Swiss lose his opening match at the Cincinnatti Masters and Nadal go on to lift the trophy, Nadal will finally be the best in the world.
