Rafael Nadal assured this Thursday that, due to the elimination of Spanish Davis Cup teamwhich was played in Malaga, the Spanish team could win both of their matches, but the difficulty of the matches led to defeat.
“There are two games that Spain can win, but in this case it cannot be”said the Mallorcan tennis player in a press conference in Santiago de Chile on the occasion of his tour of various countries in Latin America.
Rafa Nadal stressed the players of the Spanish tennis team, but he sent them encouragement: “For our country, being knocked out of the Davis Cup is disappointing, but we will continue”said the tennis player.
“The only real part of the sport itself is that some win and some lose, you go from euphoria to sadness very fast, but we are used to that by now,” added Nadal.
Wednesday’s bad taste in the mouth for Spain in the Davis Cup overlapped with the resounding victory of the Spanish soccer team in its debut at Qatar 2022, with a 7-0 against the Costa Rican team.
Regarding the success of the soccer team, Rafa Nadal showed caution to the players: “Spain started the World Cup in the best possible way; it was the first game, although it’s always exciting to start like this”said the tennis player.
Rafa Nadal embarks on a tour of Latin America, which began in Argentina, where he defeated the national tennis player Casper Ruud, continues in Chile, where he will play this Friday against the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo , to continue later through Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Mexico.
When asked how he assesses the season, Rafa Nadal explained that he went through different phases, but that he was mainly marked by physical obstacles, especially his withdrawal from the Grand Slam in Rome due to ailments in his left foot.
However, the tennis player denied that he was thinking of retiring from tennis: “When I found a treatment that helped me get better, the general outlook changed a lot”Nadal said.
The tennis player emphasized that he still has a career as a professional tennis player, and now has his sights set on the 2022 Australian Open before the end of the year.
