The 22-time Grand Slam champion, Spanish tennis player **[Rafael Nadal](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Nadal)**, shared insights about his life beyond his tennis career.

**– Is your life more hectic now compared to before?**
– Yes, I used to think that I would have a lot more time for everything. It’s probably a matter of organization. I recently became a father, which complicates things. I also believed that the first year after retiring would be more chaotic, in the sense that I’d be busy moving around. However, when I look at the upcoming year, it doesn’t seem particularly relaxing either. So it turns out I’m busier than I expected, – Nadal’s remarks are reported by [Cadena SER](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/12/02/rafa-nadal-responde-a-quienes-le-ven-como-el-proximo-presidente-del-real-madrid-no-se-si-me-explico-mal-cadena-ser/).

The 39-year-old Nadal wrapped up his professional career in November 2024.
