Throughout his career, the former World Number 1 has won several laurels. He has an astonishing 90 singles titles on the ATP Tour. Recently, he became the first man in history to lift 21 Grand Slam singles titles.

Although his game may be flawless, Nadal struggles when it comes to technology. Recently, there was yet another incident that highlighted his problems.
Rafael Nadal struggles with technology while interacting with fans
The 35-year-old took part in the ‘Fanjolt Exclusive Live!’ show yesterday. However, some technology issues kept him from connecting with the fans for a couple of minutes. Further, he said, “Hey guys, let’s try to keep moving on. You know, I am sometimes not good on the technology and we are glad to connect with you.” While receiving no response, he hilariously asked, “nobody wants to talk with me?”
Mama and I just split the cost of this (seriously, she literally just handed me a dollar to contribute her half). So excited to see Rafa jolting! pic.twitter.com/ZEhL7B69YX
