Beethoven is the name of the good piece Nadal bought a year ago – and on which he spends his free time between tournaments.The sea is his world, he now betrayed in conversation with boatinternational. com:”I have always lived on the coast, between Manacor and Porto Cristo.Ever since I was a little child, my father had a small boat and I loved to go out and dive.Whenever I have time, I come back to Mallorca and I am in the water.I’ve always liked the adventure feeling of having a boat for you,”Nadal said.

When I finish training at three o’ clock and think’ Today is enough’, I check the weather and when the conditions are good, I say to my captain’ Let’s go’ and we spend the afternoon in the water.I put on my wetsuit and go snorkeling, have dinner and sleep on board.The next day, early in the morning, I go ashore and go to practice.And if I have more time, I’ll be on the road all weekends or a whole week.But this has only worked once or twice so far.”

Andy Murray came and used the boat with his team for a few days, but I wasn’t on board.But I’ve already been on the road with Feliciano Lopez, Marc Lopez, David Ferrer and Juan Monaco.He is a great friend, I’ve known him since I was a little kid,”If his family and friends didn’t have time, he would go out with him alone.” I don’t have a license, but when I’m with the captain, I like to take the boat.I love this.”
