Rafael Nadal was the main protagonist of the 2025 Laureus Awards when he received the Sport Icon Award. After the gala, the manacorí was asked if he missed tennis and the professional circuit. The champion of 22 Grand Slams was quite clear: "I don't miss tennis at all, not because I ended tired or in conflict with tennis. Quite the opposite, I finished happy and if I could, I would continue playing because I loved what I did, it thrilled me, and it has been like that my whole life. The thing is, when one realizes they can't continue, they try to close that chapter, and I have closed mine."
