Rafael Nadal: I feel loved all over the world

World tennis legend Rafael Nadal gave an interview after losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh. The contest is believed to be the most expensive tennis competition in history, and the winner will take 6 million USD.

“I feel good … supported and loved all over the world. I will never be able to thank everyone enough. They have helped me through difficult and positive times. They have always taken me to the next level of energy. I feel very lucky. I had a very long and successful career”, said Nadal. For him, last night’s defeat was Carlito’s third in five matches between them.

“The support and love around the world means that I have done something good, of course, on the court, but at the same time off it. All these years I have tried to be kind to everyone. I feel happy and satisfied with the love of the public everywhere. Thank you” added the Spanish tennis player.
