After his career end, ex-tennis professional Rafael Nadal is now devoting himself to another sporting passion. He succeeds in doing a rare art stroke.
Sandplatz king Rafael Nadal ceded from the tennis stage at the end of last year and ended his professional career in October. Now the Spaniard has shown that he is still capable of exceptional sporting performance.
However, the ex-tennis professional played strange and caused a sensation away from the tennis court. He demonstrated his talent in a different sport, the golf. On his X-account, Nadal proudly shared the news of a successful hole-in-one in the Club de Golf Alcanada in Mallorca.
He achieved the feat on par 3 hole 14, which is particularly demanding for many golfers. A hole-in-one means that the ball is transported from the tee into the hole with just one blow-a dream of many golfers and an extraordinary performance.
Although there is no video of the blow, Nadal published a collage from two photos on X. One of them kneel next to the hole, smiling in the camera as he holds the golf ball in his right hand. The second photo shows him upright and proudly presented the ball. According to its own statements, it was Nadal’s first hole-in-one ever.
During his active time as a tennis player, Nadal passionately devoted himself to the Gulf and took part in amateur tournaments in Spain. His handicap is said to be between 0 and 1, which indicates that he reaches the par level or even stays below at a normal 18-hole round.
Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He won a total of 92 single titles in his tennis career, including 22 Grand slam titles. He is particularly well known as a clay court specialist with 14 wins at the French Open-a record. He was also able to triumph twice at the prestigious Rasmbledon. Rafael Nadal now proves that he is also capable of exceptional on the green of the golf courses in the world.
