MADRID (AP) U.S. Open champion Rafael Nadal returned home on Wednesday, insisting his latest tennis triumph did not qualify him as Spain's greatest-ever athlete.
Nadal, who became the seventh player to complete a career grand slam with Monday's victory, says it's an honor to be considered among the greats but says comparisons to them are ``madness.''
Nadal's 2010 triumphs, which also include French Open and Wimbledon titles, have added to a tremendous year of international sporting success for Spain, which won soccer's World Cup.
Nadal said the important thing was ``to enjoy these successes, since we don't know if it'll ever happen again.''
