Donald Trump is the main star this Wednesdaywhen the election night count confirmed that he had won and would be president of the United States again in January.
The Republican candidate has never been particularly interested in the world of sports, although he regularly plays golf and has been seen at several events, mainly wrestling and UFC.
However, it was a tennis player who aroused his admiration. This is Rafa Nadal, whom he enthusiastically praised during one of his visits to Spain in 2011.”My favorite player is Rafa Nadal. I love Rafa. We are talking about a boy who always wants to win. Always, always a winner” assured the president.
The matter did not stop there, because in 2017 and became the president of the United States, Trump asked King Felipe and Letizia to be accompanied by a tennis player from Manacor on their official visit in the White House, something that ultimately did not happen.
This did not happen because of scheduling problems, but also because of the president-elect He is no saint of devotion for the 14-time Roland Garros champion.
“I was in the United States when Trump was campaigning. That’s true I don’t like the way he speaks because it’s not the style that I appreciated, the way of expressing himself… Since I don’t have an arrogant profile, that’s not my style.“Nadal said in January 2017 in an interview published by ‘El Español’.
“But I’ll also be honest: I didn’t like the other option either.“said the former number 1 in reference to Hillary Clinton, Trump’s rival at the time.
