‘King of Clay’ Rafael Nadal gets a tad bit emotional during the Mutua Madrid Open press conference. He is a little sad about his son not having a memory of his playing tennis professionally.
Nadal made his 20th appearance in Madrid and was joined by some special members in his box. Cheering him on was his wife and son, Rafa Junior.

Well, I would love to play a little bit longer and give him a memory of myself playing tennis. That’s what will be the ideal thing for me and for my wife and family. But I can’t. Probably I will not be able to make that happen. But at least I’m happy to have a great team and family and friends around me during all my life that helped me in every single way of being happy,
Said Rafael Nadal during the post-match interview.
Due to multiple injury concerns, the Spaniard has chosen to end his historic career this year. And the road to retirement has also been going well for Nadal, who waved goodbye to many tournaments already, as another emotional one lines up.
