His announcement provoked all kinds of reactions and one of them moved to the articles related to his figure. The increase was not considered.
In the “Wallapop” application, one of the most used in Spanish territory to buy and sell items, merchandising related to Rafael Nadal was shot. Some items have his signature or were used by the Fiera in tournaments, while others are less exclusive. How much money are we talking about?

Praise from Richard Gasquet
“Because Rafael Nadal is it so special? Since I was 19 I’ve been asked that question. It’s enough to see it on television, that’s all,” said Richard Gasquet, one of the Spanish tennis player’s contemporaries and who also revealed that he is very close to retirement.
“He won Roland Garros 14 times. What he did is beyond science fiction. Nobody could do it, but he did it. Once you say that, it’s enough. It’s incredible, his intensity, the level of play and physicality. I couldn’t explain how he achieved what he achieved. Some things have no explanation. You see that level and you can’t explain it,” he added.
