Rafael Nadal became a father recently and he finally got to win a match in that capacity after he defeated non-father Ruud at the ATP Finals.
Nadal played his best tennis since Wimbledon, producing 16 aces and a total of 37 winners, earning him the victory. Nadal's outstanding performance and strong numbers helped him ease up a bith and the improved mood was visible after the match:
"I finally won a match as dad because I had three losses in a row," said Nadal after the match.
The proud father will return to his son after this event which is something he is looking forward to: "Going to be back home and try to enjoy little bit the fact that I will be home for a while, family and work."
The new season is not that far away so while he will be able to enjoy some downtime, Nadal will soon have to get back to work to prepare for Australia: "For me is not work, is practice. Just practice, try to make the right plan to be able to stay healthy enough and to stay ready for the beginning of the next season."
"How early? I can't tell you yet because, as you can imagine now, my life changed a little bit. I don't make unilateral decisions. I need to check a little bit," concluded Nadal.
