Just how good can life get for Rafael Nadal?

The Spaniard had quite a couple of days over the weekend. He secured Olympic gold medal on Sunday and was installed as the new world #1 on the Monday.

The 22 year-old has had a season to end all seasons, winning at Roland Garros for the fourth straight year before finally breaking Roger Federer’s stranglehold on the Wimbledon trophy just a month later.

Now he had gained top spot in the world and won his countries first gold medal in tennis at the Olympics. What does the new Olympic Champion think of his achievements?

"I just want to enjoy this moment because I'm having an unbelievable year. It's more than my best dreams so I want to enjoy the moment. I know how difficult it is to win these things. Winning here for me is unbelievable."

It was a disappointment to most that the final wasn’t against Federer, the Swiss star was knocked out by the USA’s James Blake, but no matter who Nadal played he’d of probably won.

He beat Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 6-3 7-6 6-3 in the Gold Medal match and never looked in trouble. I don’t know if Nadal can go on and win at the US Open (where he is the #1 seed) but if he does then it might go down as the greatest season in the history of men’s tennis.
