Fourteen-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal said on Saturday that Indian ace Leander Paes is one of the biggest stars in doubles and one of the best players in the history of tennis. “He (Leander) played a great match. Asked if they were confident of bouncing back after losing the first set in the doubles match, Nadal said: “We played point by point, that’s all. In Davis Cup doubles there is always a lot of ups and downs and it was a typical doubles match. It was important for us to win doubles because in the history of Spanish team it has been difficult to win doubles.”
