(CNN) -- World number one Rafael Nadal says 2010 has been a dream year so far, after the Spaniard recovered from a knee injury in 2009 to reclaim his French Open and Wimbledon crowns, and the world number one ranking. "It's just amazing for me you know, more than dream because I was 11 months without winning a tournament, so that wasn't an easy time for me," he told CNN's Open Court. The 24-year-old said he was so happy with his success as he was not sure if he would ever return to the top of tennis after his knee problems forced him out of the sport last year.
