Carlos Moya exclusive - Rafael Nadal’s Calendar Grand Slam goal is ‘realistic’ ahead of bid to win Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal is not losing sleep over the prospect of a Wimbledon triumph moving him closer to completing a Calendar Grand Slam, his coach Carlos Moya told Eurosport Spain. After winning the Australian Open and French Open, Nadal is halfway towards a feat that only Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 and 1969) have achieved in the men’s singles.

Ad/> Novak Djokovic has held all four majors at the same time, across 2015 and 2016, and was then unable to seal the Calendar Grand Slam last year when losing the US Open final to Daniil Medvedev. WimbledonDjokovic 'does not need to think about Rafa' ahead of Wimbledon — Corretja7 HOURS AGO With Wimbledon starting next week, Djokovic will be looking to deny Nadal his third major of the year, and the latter goes in as the slight underdog given he has not won there for 12 years.

“It is a realistic goal, right now he is the only one that can achieve it this year,” Moya said. “It is the first time in his career that he is in a position to achieve it, but we see it as something far away, it is only halfway.

“At the moment he doesn't lose sleep, as a team few things keep us up at night and this is not one of them. We have to go little by little, it is not something that we talk about, it is not a primary objective, although we are not going to give up on it.” 'Novak is angry' — Djokovic loss to Nadal 'hurt him', says Rusedski Will Nadal play Wimbledon? Has he recovered from his foot injury? 'It's a miracle' — 'Only Rafa' can keep recovering so quickly, says Corretja Nadal has not played since Roland-Garros, but he is set to play the invitation event at Hurlingham Club this week, offering the Spaniard a chance to get to grips with the London grass ahead of Wimbledon.
