Rafael Nadal: Impossible to Keep Pace on Social Media

Recently, while speaking about his social media skills, Rafa revealed that he can’t cope up with it.

He said, “I try to answer everybody always when it comes to personal messages on my phone. On social media, it’s impossible for me. And I of course have this thing of mine where I follow up.”

In his defense, Nadal admitted that he was much older than the youth who were really hooked onto it. Although, he did add that he is not someone who is constantly engaging himself on social media.
