During an interview with Eurosport, Mats Wilander told an anecdote about Rafael Nadal dating back ten years. “I was next to Rafael Nadal in the dressing room at Australian Open 2022: Novak Djokovic case, live: Australia continues to extend the decision on the deportation of the Serbian”>Roland Garros, I’m talking about something that happened about 10 years ago.
I was preparing to play a legends match (of tennis) and listening to music before entering the court. I wish I knew what kind of music Rafa was listening to before playing, I assumed it was techno or something.
When I realized it was a kind of flamenco, I literally melted. This music was really super relaxing,” said Wilander. The analyst also commented on the Australian Open 2022 final.
“I think Nadal has achieved the greatest comeback in the history of tennis. To win the 21st Grand Slam at almost 36 years old, beating Daniil Medvedev, who had just returned from his triumph in New York, is something crazy.
I have no idea how he managed to do that. In fact, I still find it hard to believe.”
The latest on Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal won the Australian Open a few weeks ago, achieving one of the most unexpected feats of his entire career, even if it was in the absence of Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, to whom Rafa hasn’t taken a set on hard court since 2013!
The 35-year-old from Manacor will undoubtedly be the big favorite at Roland Garros, while waiting to see if Novak will also be present in Paris. The 34-year-old from Belgrade was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open 2022, due to the cancellation of his visa on a decision by the Australian government.
Novak will return to the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, while Rafa is registered for the tournament in Acapulco, Mexico.
