Rafael Nadal has been in the news for his indisputable performance at the Roland Garros which won him his 20 Grand Slam title equaling the previous best by Roger Federer. Since then, praise has kept flowing for Rafael Nadal. Jaume Munar of Spain, who won the Lisboa Belem Open on Sunday, considers the King of Clay to be someone he trusts and who helps him a lot.
After winning against the Portuguese Pedro Sousa (7-6(3), 6-2), Munar left his mark for the fifth time in the ATP Challenger Tour. He even revealed his conversation with the World No. 2, which helped him seal the deal. He said, “Rafa is someone I trust and who helps me a lot. Even today, before the final, I spoke to him. He told me to try to be calm, to follow my path, and to continue my work like I’ve been doing all week.” Rafa’s advice was based on the fact that Munar hadn’t dropped a single set all week.
