Rafael Nadal gracefully admitted defeat to a better opponent after the Wimbledon final on Sunday.

The Spanish great and now former World No 1, said Novak Djokovic was in the best moment of his career and even though he was also in one of the best moments in his career, it was not enough to stop Djokovic. 

The Serbian machine has been unstoppable this year and even Nadal could only win one set in Sunday's match, before succumbing 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.

Nadal said ''Seriously, I lost because I am playing against the best player of the moment - the best player of the world - and I am the second.''
