Rafa’s academy has been locked down to prevent the infection from spreading to the people inside. He is hopeful that the situation will ease soon. He said,

“I am hoping that we can win against the pandemic and I hope you all are staying positive at such a time. It is important to smile, to think positively during such a sad time even if it is very difficult to live with all these restrictions. I am sure we will come back stronger from this pandemic.”

Rafael Nadal is absolutely right. We all must stay positive during this time and hope that the situation will improve soon. If the situation does get better, we will see the return of the ATP tour which is something every tennis fan will be hoping for.

Rafa is certainly hoping for that. He wants the opportunity to equal his great rival Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slams and take a step further in becoming the GOAT of tennis. If the situation with the virus gets better, he will have that opportunity and will not let it slip.
