Spain’s legendary tennis star
Rafael Nadal has opened up
about the experience of becoming a parent. The 37-year-old is often regarded as
one of the greatest players in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era.
Nadal was recently quoted in a report where he talked in detail
about the experience of becoming a father.
"Everything surprises you because everything is
new," he said. "Especially the first kid you have, everything is 100
percent new for my wife and for me. So you learn everyday, and every day is
unexpected.
"I have always been a kids guy. I always enjoyed
spending time with the kids, I had plenty of smaller cousins than me so I had a
lot of fun with them when they were babies. I can say nothing negative. I am
lucky that for the moment the baby is doing very well. We are happy."
Nadal has won 22
Grand Slam titles in his career. He was the first player ever to win more than
20 major titles in his career. The former world number one won the French Open
14 times which is a record in the competition’s history. It is because of this
reason Nadal is often known as the ‘King of Clay’.
