Rafael Nadal is among the tennis players that are growing more and more frustrated about not being able to train. The Spanish sensation resides in the wonderful Porto Cristo a few kilometers from his Rafael Nadal Academy. However, he misses something really important in his residence: a tennis court!
When talking with Roger Federer over Instagram, the world no.2 revealed that he hasn’t played since the cancellation of Indian Wells (that was more than 1 month ago). The Swiss sensation sounded “happy” about that!
Why Nadal is not happy for not being able to train
During one of his session on Instagram live, Nadal commented:
“It’s true I don’t understand very well because we cannot play tennis when many people are going to work and even more so in our sport, where we keep at a large and safe distance and we play on opposite sides of the court.
But I understand that we are in a very critical situation, that the government is dealing with something unprecedented and I also understand that the last thing they think of is who can train and who cannot train. I understand the situation and obviously there are many things that are not logical but you have to accept the rules.”
Nevertheless, Rafa’s Academy announced the intention of attracting pro-players to possibly host and televise their training and some competitions.
