Spain has suffered a lot as the COVID-19 disease swept through the nation. In such grim times, a nation yearns for a leader, and Spain had to look no further than Rafael Nadal. In an online social media interview, David Ferrer was all praises for the wonderful.

After Italy, it was Spain that had to bear the brunt of the COVID-19. With thousands dead and even more affected, the situation was dire. The country was running low on a lot of equipment and panic had started to thrive.

In such situations, most people are too afraid to think straight, to stand up and take the initiative. Rafael Nadal is not most men. Realizing the need of the hour, he took it upon himself to urge his fellow Spaniards to help raise $12 million to give the Red Cross some help.

The spread has started to slow down already in the country. While Rafa is far from being the sole one responsible for that, he certainly helped out.

David Ferrer gushes over Nadal

David Ferrer has always been one of the biggest fans of Nadal. He simply could not contain himself when talking about his good friend recently.

“Rafa should be a mandatory subject so that kids would know and study what Rafa means for the sports world. But also the way one should carry themselves day by day, the person, the values he portrays outside the court. He really should be a mandatory subject.”

Some heartfelt, and true, words from David Ferrer indeed.

Nadal certainly is an upright human. It’s funny how he can be such a fierce and menacing competitor on the court, and yet be such a kind, gentle and empathetic person off it.

Spain has displayed the same defiance and fight and are on their way to pushing back the coronavirus.
