Rafael Nadal is definitely one of the fiercest warriors that have ever played on a tennis court. The Spanish sensation has won 75 titles so far (16 slams and 10 Roland Garros) displaying a stunningly gritty tennis.
Rafa didn’t have to beat “only” his opponents during the last few years, but he had also to face a terrible foe: pain.
Rafa is on painkillers since 2005. UNCLE TONI
During a recent conference in Spain, Uncle Toni revealed
“Since 2005 my nephew continuously lives with pain and then subsequent soothing with painkillers. It has got to the point where we are looking at his health ahead of matches.
Many times he’s told me that he would have liked to earn less money in exchange for suffering less pain.”
Nadal has failed to complete or participate in an event since the middle of October 2017 for various fitness problems.
