Nadal: I'm not the greatest

Madrid - US 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 win a career Grand Slam with Monday's victory, says it's an honour to be considered among the greats but says comparisons to them are "madness."

Nadal's 2010 triumphs, including French Open and Wimbledon titles, have added to a tremendous year of international sporting success for Spain, which won football's World Cup.

Nadal said the important thing was "to enjoy these successes, since we don't know if it'll ever happen again."
