Rafael Nadal has sent this Thursday a message of Christmas congratulations in a video recorded at the facilities of his academy in Manacor, in which he also gave his condolences to the relatives of those who died from the covid-19 pandemic. “The year we said goodbye has been to forget, without a doubt,” says the Mallorcan tennis player.
“Hello everyone, I would like to wish you a merry Christmas and the best for everyone in 2021 from the academy, “says Nadal.
“This year we said goodbye has been to forget, without a doubt. It is the most complicated year we have ever lived, at least since I can remember, and I want to send a lot of encouragement and condolences to all those people who have lost a loved one, and also, in the way that has been lost. Much encouragement and hope that things will gradually get better, “he adds.
The winner of twenty Grand Slam titles, who plans to participate in the Australian Open, recalls in the video that his foundation will be ten years old in 2020. “Many projects that we have in hand have had to be postponed. Let’s hope that in 2021 things improve, that the vaccine can reach most homes and that we can recover the life that we all know and, with this, from the foundation we can continue to grow and support more children who may really need opportunities for the future “, wishes the tennis player.
Nadal, after sending “a hug to all”, appeals to “responsibility” in the fight against the coronavirus: “I think it is a delicate moment, without any doubt, with which it also depends on us that things do not get worse than it is enough as they are “, concludes the Balearic athlete.
