2020 has been a very strange, unusual season for all tennis players and the same is true for Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard’s season has been unprecedented as due to the pandemic he was forced to miss the US Open, but at the same time it was a successful season that brought him the 13th Roland Garros title, especially his twentieth career Slam, a title that allows him to join the Swiss champion Roger Federer.
The Mallorcan told all his impressions of what happened to Celebrity magazine, revealing how the pandemic has affected his personal balance, both physical and mental.
The world number 2 in particular remembers the period of confinement, a period that was very hard for his physique and which also led to complications on his body.
Rafael Nadal’s commentary on the 2020 season.
Here are his statements: “I think the lockdown didn’t help anyone, but it was fair because it was one of the few ways to prevent the spread of the virus.
For those who are involved in the tennis world, it was really difficult, especially at the time with a preparation where no one knew when he would come back to play.
In the end, with a clear goal, we managed to work well, avoiding injuries and adapting to different needs. When the body stops for a long time, all that doesn’t help and I had to work hard to regain my physical condition and especially my tennis.
In general, if you ask different tennis players, they will all give you different opinions depending on their age. It was difficult because I am a very active person and staying in a house with nothing to do is really complicated.
However, I devoted my time to helping people in need, the campaign that I carried out with the Spanish Red Cross and with Pau Gasol was really very important.
We are happy with the success she has had and the money we have been able to raise to help everyone “Finally, he also added:” What is positive is that the people closest to me are well and have been well, no one has suffered from the pandemic.
In general, the first thing that matters to me is the health of my loved ones, we all know that the year has been difficult and that this year will certainly have negative consequences for the future “
Rafael Nadal will return to the court for the upcoming 2021 Australian Open, which is set to begin in Melbourne on February 8. The Spaniard and the other big tennis stars of the planet will be the protagonists of the big comeback of tennis.
