During the session, a fan asked Nadal how he decided between soccer and tennis, given he played both sports as a child. Moreover, the Spaniard’s family had a footballing history, with his uncle Miguel Angel plying his trade for FC Barcelona and RCD Mallorca.
The 22-time Major champion responded by explaining that his mother made him choose between football, tennis, and school.
Other players, including Stefanos Tsitsipas, also took part in the media Q&A day with fans. But so far, there is not much that is known about other things said by Nadal or any other player.
