The Mallorcan is already in the quarterfinals of the ATP Rotterdam despite not being happy with the slow conditions of the court: "I like tennis a little more lively."
The other great passion of Rafael Nadal, apart from tennis, has always been golf. The Spaniard, whenever tennis and his physical condition allowed it, would head to the golf courses, something he can now do more frequently. In fact, the 22-time Grand Slam champion has stated at an event that he has received tournament invitations. "I follow golf every week, and my wife suffers because of it. I watched Jon Rahm play this week in Riyadh; he had a spectacular final round and almost won. I enjoy following it in general. I have been tempted to play on occasion; several times they have wanted to give me an invitation, but the circumstances have not yet aligned. In the future, you never know, but I would have to feel that I am playing without making a fool of myself and with the enthusiasm of at least being able to compete, even if it's only against myself."
❤️"I played with Severiano Ballesteros and the memory is 𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞"

The South American clay court tour is known for its tradition and the passion demonstrated not only by the players but also by the fans. This was evident in the first round of the ATP Buenos Aires, where the Central Court was almost full, something uncommon on the first day of an ATP tournament. That's why Mariano Navone has decided to stand up for a tour that is gradually receiving less attention from ATP executives and sends a message to Andrea Gaudenzi: "This is the best tour in the world. Tennis is breathed here. In China, I played against Tien and there were five people in the Central Court. That doesn't happen here; it's always full. The atmosphere here is not experienced everywhere."
