Rafael Nadal has shed light on his plans for life after ending his illustrious tennis career. The Spaniard officially retired in November, with his final professional appearance taking place at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals.
Since stepping away from the sport, speculation has swirled around how Nadal would choose to spend his post-retirement years. Shortly after retiring, the Spaniard recorded an impressive top-10 finish in a local golf tournament. Furthermore, his uncle Toni suggested that the 38-year-old would jump at the opportunity to be the director of Real Madrid due to his love of football, which implied that his future plans seemed rooted in the sporting world.
Rafael Nadal recently validated this view in a clip for Kia, admitting that he had to sacrifice his interest in other sports due to his tennis career. However, the 38-year-old expressed his belief that retirement had given him the freedom to recover those missed opportunities and rediscover his love for those activities, which he found liberating.
