Rafael Nadal talked about many topics during an interview for Spanish television. The Majorcan was the protagonist of a TV show that broke the house in terms of audience ratings, and for good reason, it’s been a while since he disappeared from the media and above all everyone is curious to know if he is going to retire, but let’s calm down, it is not planned for the moment according to the Spaniard himself.
During this show, Nadal also spoke about his greatest rival, Roger Federer: ” It’s hard to be truly friends with a rival, not because of the competition, but because you have to deal with him every day.
Roger is a great colleague, we have done great things together and we have competed for important things. Normal people end up appreciating their greatest rivals. We have approached sport in a healthy way, but we have managed the rivalry in a good and reasonable way and we have always known how to appreciate each other.
” he explained.

Federer spoke to Nadal on the phone
In New York, Roger Federer explained that Nadal had called him for advice and since then the wildest speculations have been rife but the Swiss assured that he did not know Nadal’s retirement date, a statement that leaves many people doubtful when we know that two years ago, Rafa was one of the first people to know that the Swiss maestro was going to retire.
