NEW YORK - Spain's Rafael Nadal won his 16th Grand Slam tournament Sunday at the US Open, and he is enjoying success and the world-number-one spot after many left his career for dead. Of course at some point they help, but with wins, with self-criticism and hard work, everything is easier," he said. Nadal admits that competition has been good for his game, but he notes most of his drive comes from elsewhere. "Playing Federer, playing [Novak] Djokovic, playing [Andy] Murray and playing such good players means you know you need to do your best to be able to compete with them. Federer is focusing on major tournaments rather than playing every week, but Nadal has no plans to do the same.
