The Balearic highlights the importance of teamwork despite being an individual sport
“I have practically the same team since I started,” he highlighted in a viral Twitter speech
The current number 3 in the world, Rafael Nadalwas one of the great protagonists at Wimbledon. Despite standing in the semifinals with all deserved, a fibrillar rupture in the abdomen forced him to withdraw and not play the duel against Nick Kyrgios.
The Balearic, which this 2022 is experiencing a second youth and has signed up for the Australia Open and Roland Garroshighlighted the importance of having a good team behind to be successful in a video that has gone viral on Twitter: “I have practically the same team since I started”.
The man from Manacor insisted, above all, on the individuality of a sport like tennis: “In team sports you have a coach who is the club. You hire a coach and the player is paid too. But the coach is the boss. In our sport, I am the one who pays the coach, the physical trainer, the physiotherapist In the end, you are the boss.”.
The Wimbledon thorn
Nadal was unable to fight for the title at Wimbledon. An abdominal injury prevented him from completing an attractive semifinal against Nick Kyrgios: the Australian gave war to Novak Djokovicbut failed to prevent the Serb from imposing his law, something he has been doing since 2018.
The tennis player has already started preparing for the US Open, the last great event on the ATP circuit. Champion in the 2010, 2017 and 2019 editions, the Mallorcan wants to reign again after the victories of Thiem (2020) and Medvedev (2021) and secure his 23rd Grand Slam.
