Álex Corretja has visited La Resistencia to talk about his new signing for Movistar Plus. The former Catalan tennis player has expanded his horizons after having been a commentator on Eurosport. “I arrive at an exciting time for our country in tennis and I hope that the fans enjoy with me the same as I enjoy this sport,” he said in Movistar’s official statement.
One of the topics that Corretja has delved into is Rafa Nadal’s return to the tennis courts. “We are waiting to see when he comes back,” he indicated before making a prediction about when he will compete again. “He cannot go from 0 to 100. He is Rafa and with Rafa, we can never ever doubt. He has shown that he can do things that no one understands. We will give him margin and let him play as long as he wants,” he commented. he.
Broncano has theorized that Nadal does not want to retire because he feels the weight of having to give everything as one of the greatest representatives of Spanish tennis. For this reason, he sent him a message: “For us, it’s fine. Enjoy. If you want, play well, but you’ve already done everything. What more can you ask for?”
For his part, Corretja has been understanding with Nadal’s insistence on returning to the courts and not retiring despite the fact that his body is showing signs that he is beginning to be exhausted. The former tennis player has explained, although the Spaniard is not in a good moment, “no one is the one to tell another when he should quit” because it is “something very personal.”
In this sense, the Catalan has defended that Nadal continues trying to reach an optimal level: “From the outside it is very difficult for people to understand that the athlete has always had that dream. In reaching the top, no one dreams of retiring. So, “When it’s time to retire it’s like, what do I do? You’re so young, but you’ve done it all.”
Thus, finally, Corretja wanted to make it clear that, according to his way of seeing it, Nadal is doing the right thing by trying until the end because then, at his age, there is no turning back: “I think it is better to retire a little later” .
