Rafael Nadal Sends Heartfelt Message of Gratitude After Ultimate Tennis Glory

Rafael Nadal returned to Spain following his thirteenth French Open triumph and record-equaling Grand Slam No.20. Rafa reached his Academy in Mallorca to put his trophy in his museum. Later the Spaniard gave a heartfelt message to his fans on the eve of him winning the French Open and also because of the tough coronavirus pandemic.

Even after winning the Grand Slam, Rafa’s main focus is to help and keep motivating people during the pandemic. He is aware of the implications of the pandemic, so he insists everyone stays positive for a better future.

Nadal wrote, “Of course, I’m very happy and satisfied with what I have achieved. It’s no less true that it’s a bittersweet feeling because we have been through some very complicated months in various senses and the most important thing is health.”

“The second is the economic situation, which is causing many families to go through a hard time. We have to trust that all of this will improve, trust that the vaccine will come as soon as possible and that we can all go back to living in a more pleasant world and being happier.”

Rafael Nadal happy on receiving messages from fans

Rafa in his winning speech at Roland Garros had regretted not winning the title in front of the crowd. He hoped that next year’s edition will have the same old energy of the adoring fans.

In his message, Nadal also expressed his happiness in receiving notes from fans on social media during the current time of social distancing and no contact.

“I also wanted to thank you for all the messages of support over the last few weeks. To me, although we have been a little more distanced than normal, as we have not been able to have direct contact, receiving so many messages of support on social media and directly to my mobile has helped me, without a doubt.”

Nadal has strived to help people who have been severely affected by the pandemic through his foundation. Even during his time of joy, Nadal isn’t talking about the records he has broken or equaled. Instead, he has focused his attention on the pandemic and its consequences.
