Madrid, 3rd October 2008. Etienne De Villier, ATP's CEO, will hand Rafa Nadal the trophy that confirms him as the world's No.1, next Sunday 12th October at 1.30 p.m. The ATP has chosen the Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid' Pista Central to hand over the trophy. The tennis player from Majorca reached the first place in the ranking on 18th August. It is a unique opportunity for the fans to pay the homage he deserves for this spectacular year.
