Nadal satisfied with 2022 season: "Two Grand Slam titles are not easily won every year"

Rafael Nadal didn't expect to win two grand slams this year when he landed in Melbourne but he did and overall he's quite content with the way the season went.

He could have had an even better season overall if some things went his way but he is not disappointed by it. He won two grand slams and a couple of other events and it happened at a time when many wondered whether he could retire any moment. He's also going to play in 2023 so a few more trophies are coming his way.

Speaking to Esquire, Nadal admitted that he's happy with the year he had:

"I think the year in general has been very good at a professional level. Two Grand Slam titles are not easily won every year and that has made me satisfied in terms of results. It is true that I have had some injuries at the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year that have prevented me from competing in other tournaments and kept me at home longer than desired."

He also talked a bit about his private life and the birth of his first child:

"On a personal level, moments of immense joy have also been combined with the birth of our son with others in which we went through complicated situations that kept us on our toes and prevented a normal development of what we were doing, in my case competing in the open USA. But in the end everything turned out well and I have the sweet taste of the year that is about to end."
