Additionally, the Spaniard hailed La Liga for helping other sports in the country. Together, they will only take the initiative further ahead.

“They have taken an impressive leap in quality and also in promotion,” Nadal said. “I want to congratulate them because they are giving a boost to other sports that do not have the same resources.”

In response, the La Liga president wished the 34-year-old “20%” luck for the coming Monte-Carlo Masters in Monaco. He said that the Spaniard’s hard work would cover up the rest.

Nadal responded, “If luck is with us to be able to work, then all the better.”
