"Outside the tennis court, I’m not a very organized person": Rafael Nadal's OCD debunked as he admits messiness off court

Former World No.1 Rafael Nadal is known for his meticulous pattern on the tennis court, but the legendary Spaniard has once again denied claims that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The 22-time Grand Slam champion is known for being one of the most organized players on tour, with his antics ranging from perfectly aligning his bottles in front of the player's chair to engaging in a full-fledged ritual of bodily movements before serving. Although he has been accused of being obsessed with orderliness in the past, the 37-year old again denied such claims at a recent Infosys event in Vienna.

Nadal believes he has made improvements to his disorganized antics off the court

"Outside the tennis court, I’m not a very organized person," he admitted during an interview. "I think I’m a hard worker but not very well organized life. I don’t have the best-organized [hotel] rooms but I’ve improved a lot over the last ten years."
