Rafael Nadal admits his opponent Novak Djokovic was a worthy winner in the 2011 Wimbledon men's singles final.
Djokovic won the match in four sets, 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, to extend his winning run over the Spaniard to five matches as he takes over at the top of the world rankings.
That has helped see Djokovic replace Nadal at the top of the world rankings and the Spaniard admitted his rival has had the edge in the big points.
"When I was 100% to play, I lost against him five times," said Nadal. "The rest of the year I won almost every match. So I'm doing things very well, but probably not against him. That's what I have to change.
"Probably the mental part is a little bit dangerous for me, because when I was at 5-4 (in the first set), I played a bad game from 30-0. When I was 4-3 down in the fourth set, I played another bad game with my serve.
"To win these kind of matches, I have to play well (at those moments). These kind of points can change the match.
