Sydney, Sep 23 The 22-time Grand Slam singles champion Rafael Nadal revealed the key to his success, saying without dedication nothing is possible at this point in his career. Nadal won the Australian Open and the French Open this year, holding an all-time record major trophies in men's history. Following two back-toback wins at Grand Slam events, Nadal missed out on going all the way for a third title as an abdominal tear forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon ahead of his semi-final clash against Nick Kyrgios. He bounced back and competed at the US Open, but crashed out in the Round of 16. Nadal will now join hands with Roger Federer in the doubles event at the Laver Cup, which marks the retirement of the Swiss maestro from the ATP tour. "Without dedication, nothing is possible, especially at this point in my career," Nadal said ahead of his match at Laver Cup. "It’s about discipline going into each day on the practice court and in the gym. "I think I’ve managed it quite well to still be dedicated and professional and still do things professionally. Every time the challenge is more [and] I hope that I will be ready for it." Nadal will play for Team Europe, which includes his oncourt rivals Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. The Big Four have captured 66 major titles among themselves.
