Rafael Nadal, a tennis legend, has stated that he does not miss the game.
At the Laureus World Sport Awards in Madrid on Monday, Rafael Nadal received a Sporting Icon award.
The 38-year-old managed to win 22 Grand Slams in his career, including 14 at Roland Garros.
Nadal retired in November after his final match at the Davis Cup in Malaga.
“The truth is that I don’t miss tennis. Zero. I don’t miss it at all,” Nadal told reporters.
“But not because I finished tired of tennis or fighting against tennis, not at all.
“I finished my career happy and if I could have, I would have carried on, because I loved what I was doing.
“It was my passion and that’s been the case all my life. It’s just that when you realise that physically you can’t do it any more… you try to close that chapter. And I closed it.”
