Ferrer told Express Sport 19-time Grand Slam champion Nadal is intent on surpassing Federer's major mark."I think his goal is to win as many Grand Slams as possible," Ferrer told Express Sport. "It is a target for him. He wants to do something like Roger. It is a very good target for him to still keep going. It is more difficult but in this moment he is the No 1 in the world. So he is in a good place."While Ferrer suggests young stars like ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, two-time Roland Garros runner-up Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev will all be major contenders, he says Nadal is favorite to finish as year-end No. 1 for a sixth time."Tsitsipas, Thiem, Medvedev are very good players but Rafa for me is the favorite to finish next year as world No 1," Ferrer said. "He can do it."]]>
