Rafael Nadal believes he is ready to win big titles after his loss to Roger Federer in the Miami Open final.
The Spaniard has reached three deciders in 2017 but lost on each occasion, including going down 6-3 6-4 to Federer on Sunday.
Nadal was also beaten by his Swiss rival in the Australian Open final, while he lost to Sam Querrey in Acapulco.
The 14-time grand-slam champion feels he is at a decent level ahead of playing on his favourite surface – clay.
"I think I am close to where I need to be," Nadal said.
"I am at a very high level of tennis and I believe I am ready to win
these titles. I already played three finals this year and today I lost
to a player that had lost only one match."
