I believe he has never imagined himself living anywhere but Mallorca”, said Maria. Miguel Angel Nadal, former FC Barcelona player and Nadal’s uncle, added: “I think for Rafael this is the place where he feels the tranquillity that he can’t feel in any other place.

When he comes in Mallorca, he feels supported by his friends, he feels the way he did as a kid.” Nadal’s longtime physiotherapist Rafael Maymo said: “The feeling of belonging to Mallorca, an island, a place where you always feel comfortable and where you always want to go back because you think it is the place that gives you the energy to continue with your professional career.”

On how it felt for Nadal to defeat Roger Federer in 2008 following two consecutive Wimbledon final losses, Maymo concluded: When he has had situations against other tennis players, that have beaten him, he has almost always been able to turn things on his side. And I think doubt or uncertainty of not being the best makes you try to do better.”
