Rafael Nadal is currently in Abu Dhabi, where he played the Mubadala World Tennis Championship. The Spaniard lost it to Andy Murray in the semi-final, but he can still be happy after he learned that he won the prestigious Stefan Edberg sportsmanship award for the 5th time.
Nadal commented:
“I can’t be happier to receive one more time the Sportsmanship Award from my colleagues on the Tour. It means a lot to me, so thanks a lot to every player that thinks that I am the right one to receive this award. Honestly, it means a lot to me because I try to be always correct on court,” he added.
Nadal will play his next event in Melbourne (an ATP event starting from the 3rd of January).
