After an hour’s office, four men hung up and shared a laughter to which Nadal was asked at a press conference that followed.Soon the 39-year-old started the answer with good intentions and said everyone asked the families, but the competing fire was also enthusiastic.“You know my good friend Andy, we weren’t in touch for a while, but on the day Arsenal defeated Real Madrid (in the final of the Champions League in April), one second after the match sent me a message,” Nadal said, reaching over the phone. “I’ll read (message) because it’s pretty good, interesting …” “Hi Rafa, he’s not talked to you for some time. He just signed up to make sure you were okay,” he read from his phone before looking at laugh. “It took me like five seconds to realize what I read. At the beginning I said, okay, he’s such a nice guy. He asks how I am. After five seconds … this Bbrrriitish sense of humor.”Only Nadal was not finished, his angular forehand to tear. “By the way, I didn’t say him when PSG defeated Arsenal.”In addition to the competition, it is a friendship that distinguishes this rivalry.

We have reached our dreams and because of this rivalry we have increased the number of tennis history to the next level.”Nadal, the only one of the four quarters in formal shoes, the other three sports soles, expected his rivals to be present on Sunday, but he wasn’t sure if they would really be there.The 22 main winner, which has two less than Djokovic and two more than Federer, said his 14 Coupe des Mousquetaires would be difficult.“If I do it, another one will do another,” he said, “(but) many things have to go in your favor, you need a long career, you can not have a lot of injuries even if I had.The Spanish Superstar was asked to encourage his two -year -old son Rafael Nadal Junior to become a professional athlete due to the road, and sacrifice the road communicated.“You mentioned victims, things you lost to become a professional (athlete), I never had the feeling that I did a lot of victims. I never thought I had lost part of my life to become professional,” he said. “I wasn’t able to do all the things my friends did every weekend, but I could do all things and did it. At the same time, when you do what you want to do, you don’t do victims.”Nadal stressed that if his son proceeded to sport with a similar approach, he would support him.Nadal knew that a few surprises were planned for the ceremony, but he didn’t know exactly what it would be. When a little dirt was cleaned in the evening, they revealed Nadal’s track, tears running down his face.“Knowing he’ll be there forever is a gift that I can’t describe in words,” he said. “Very, very emotional to have this place at the most important court of my tennis career. Very, very strange.”That was the kind of champion Rafael Nadal was. Everything he won is in numbers, Mettle resonates a man in his track.
