Rafael Nadal: In 2005, I Thought In 2017 I’d Be Fishing On My Boat In Mallorca
Not even Rafael Nadal can believe it. Twelve years after winning his first French Open title, Rafael Nadal is still the King of Roland Garros after an emphatic 62, 63, 61 victory over Stan Wawrinka.
“In 2005, I thought in 2017 I’d be fishing on my boat in Mallorca,” Nadal joked after winning a 10th French title. “I didn’t really think I’d have such a long career and win so many tournaments.”
Now 31, Nadal may actually be improving. He just won third French Open without losing a set and this time dropping his best of just 35 games. And he nearly won the Australian Open, just falling short at the finish line to Roger Federer.
So how many more French Open can Nadal win? And when will he be finally fishing? Nadal is scheduled for a week off before playing in Queen’s.
