Rafael Nadal's horoscope is second only to that of Roger Federer. The Spaniard has Planet 'Z' in deep exaltation in his third house that rules arms. But there is a minor blemish, though. Sun, the planet that rules the body and vitality, is in his eighth house of distress. That's why Nadal has suffered so many injuries.

Since 2011, Saturn has stayed in the first house of personality for Nadal. While this phase was inimical for most other players, it was extremely beneficial for Nadal. Saturn helped him overcome his injuries and make a huge comeback. However, this phase will end soon. In other words, Nadal would find it more and more difficult to win Grand Slams. Also the advent of Planet 'X' into his eighth house in January next year would mean his best days are numbered.

In short, the advent of younger, newer players and frequent injuries would prevent Nadal from becoming the greatest tennis player of all time.
