Rafael Nadal proved that he is still a man of the people after fully embracing life in the Olympic Village.
Badminton stars, table tennis players and other tennis competitors approached Nadal for selfies, and the 22-time Grand Slam winner was more than happy to oblige.
‘Even though I’m not physically injured, that’s important, but mentally and physically I’m not used to playing four days in a row and playing such long matches.
“I have to analyse it carefully and find the reason why I played like that, even if the energy was not right… Things like that can happen, that’s the way it is. I don’t have to lie or hide anything.”
