Nadal Arrived In Arabia, “I feel like I’ve sold myself for money.”
The tennis player responded to every question in an in-depth interview.
This evening at 22:30 on El Objetivo de Ana Pastor, La Sexta, there will be an intriguing conversation featuring Rafa Nadal.
Talking about his retirement, becoming a father, injuries, Carlos Alcaraz, the Manacor tennis star responds to all inquiries.
During his time as the Saudi Tennis Federation’s ambassador, Nadal also had the chance to address some of the criticism that he has been receiving lately.
Arrival in Saudi Arabia
Rafa Nadal responded, when asked about his presence in Saudi Arabia, “I don’t think Arabia needs me to wash its image, given its immense potential, it seems sense that the globe is interested in visiting this nation. It seems like everything is purchased with money, and that Rafa has now sold out for financial gain.”
Although he acknowledges the existence of emotions, Nadal believes that the nation still needs to advance since it is “very backward in many ways.”
Furthermore, Nadal said that he would admit he was “completely wrong” but that he would have “the opportunity to work with the right values” if the nation doesn’t carry on with the progress he thinks it should in the next ten or fifteen years.
Rafa Nadal about Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz is without a doubt Rafa Nadal’s natural heir. Rafa agreed, saying, “He is incredibly talented and youthful. Carlos plays tennis at an exceptionally high level. Given his age, I don’t notice any flaws. At his age, I had far more deficiencies in tennis than he does. My backhand, slicing, and serving all suffered. Let’s watch how his body reacts as he embarks on a bright future.”
Detesting the game of tennis
Rafa Nadal has not acknowledged that he has despised tennis, despite the fact that injuries and physical issues have hindered him greatly in recent years and given him several issues.
I would be quite unappreciative if I did. My life has been enriched by tennis, allowing me to experience a story I could never have imagined living without it. “My body doesn’t respond the way I would like it to,” he said, expressing his fatigue.
