Rafael Nadal conquered the world of tennis during his 23 years of career on the field, winning 22 Grand Slam, and he has now turned his hand to other sports. The Spaniard is a passionate golfer, and he has already achieved a rare feat that many dream.
Nadal revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he had struck a hole in a Thursday. Giving pink shorts and a gray shirt and cap, the 39 -year -old man was broken with smiling next to the hole before placing with the ball in which he struck the remarkable shot.
Overflowing with pride, Nadal also posted on the realization on his Instagram account. He wrote: “A hole in one, does not satisfy every day!” With a smiling face and an Emoji golf flag. The message received 50,000 likes, with a lot of comments on how we miss Wimbledon.
The former tennis superstar was a double winner at the SW19, winning the loot in 2008 and 2010, and he only retired last year. Nevertheless, another member of the “Big Three” bids for Glory this week: Novak Djokovic.
The Serbian should face Jannik Sinner on Center runs Friday afternoon, and he could face Carlos Alcaraz in the final for the third year successive in Wimbledon if the Spaniard is able to take over Taylor Fritz.
Nadal will certainly have an eye on how the rest of the action will be put in SW19 and has done since he hung up his racket for the last time in November.
Speaking earlier this year, he explained how he hoped to play a tournament against some of his former tennis rivals in the future. Asked about the possibility of playing against the “Big Four” on the golf course, Nadal told the Telegraph: “Yes, it could happen, but they must obtain training – I have a little advantage in there.
“On the tennis court, there was not much difference between us, but in this I am much better than them.” It remains to be seen if Andy Murray, Djokovic or Roger Federer accept Nadal’s challenge in the future and fight in a new sphere, or if the four -way shock is saved during a lower rainy day.
