Nadal, the best example of work, tenacity, respect and excellence that Spain can offer the world
Don Rafael Nadal Parera, the greatest Spanish athlete of all time and the most successful tennis player in history, represents a daily miracle, the best example this country can set to the world. Work, commitment, commitment, tenacity, desire to improve and constant evolution since the beginning of his career, going from a defensive player to a commendable aggressiveness in his own field.
From that Balearic tennis player who, with his long hair, short sleeves and pirates, bit his first Cup of the Musketeers to today, already with little hair, wrinkles and a worn-out body, the least that has changed is the privileged mind of the man from Manacor . He never gives up, never belittles his rival and above all grows in the face of adversity. He is not even reminded of a blunder. He is the perfect husband, the exemplary son, the dream brother-in-law and the most desirable son-in-law. Polite, respectful, always with the right words at the right time.
After passing Norwegian Casper Ruud, an outstanding student at the Balearic Academy in Manacor, Nadal took the microphone in the final and uttered the most desired phrase: “I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I’m staying to attempt”. After days of uncertainty, of logical fears due to that chronic condition in his left foot that mistreats him and forces him to play undercover, Rafa claims the legend continues. Despite rumors to the contrary, denied even by his press officer, the absolute king of Paris once again dominated the dance floor and stage.
Although he thinks in his heart about a forced farewell due to circumstances and his desire to continue playing sports as an amateur to be happy with his friends every day, it was not the place to reveal anything. As much as it represents the center court of Roland Garros, the magical late French tennis player Philippe Chatrier who ended his playing career, became a journalist and then became involved in the sports administration, it was not the right place to announce something important, an earlier and a after in the sports world. It would be to break protocol, the tournament and his own victory, the fourteenth.
Nadal does not have the ego of Cristiano Ronaldo, who can anticipate his departure from Real Madrid on the same day the team celebrates a title. The day Rafa hangs up his racket and goes sailing with Xisca Perelló, his lifelong girl, another miracle in terms of discretion, he will say it with all his people around him, perhaps in his academy.
For now, we continue to enjoy the Nadal arriving crippled at press conferences and making steady progress on the track. From this Roland Garros of uncertainty, his quarterfinal match against Novak Dokovic, a work of art, will be forever engraved in gold. Nadal is a cannibal on the track. As King Felipe VI underlined in front of former tennis player and commentator Álex Correjta’s microphone, it’s hard to separate him when Rafa gets a goal in the head. Just stratospheric.
