'I Never Knew How Long I Could Last’: Nadal Opens Up On Career-long Battle With Pain
Rafael Nadal: The 22 Grand Slams champion Rafael Nadal has detailed the immense physical sacrifice behind one of tennis’s most decorated careers, confessing that he constantly feared it would be his last season as he battled a chronic foot condition.
The retired Spanish icon, who was part of the game’s legendary ‘Big Three’ along with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, discussed his difficult sacrifices in the quest to reach the very pinnacle of his sport following the release of the Netflix series ‘Rafa', which examines the physical and mental challenges of his time playing professionally.
"I've had to make decisions about my health, where you are on the borderline between right or wrong," the 39-year-old admitted to the BBC. "But if I hadn't explored all that, I probably would have had 10 fewer Grand Slams...This is the reality."
