Retired tennis champion Rafael Nadal says family life with his two sons is his priority when at home in Mallorca.

Rafael Nadal has discussed his life since retiring from professional tennis, emphasising that fatherhood now takes precedence over his other activities. The retired champion was interviewed by The Associated Press from his home in Mallorca to promote an upcoming exhibition in Las Vegas. He arrived eight minutes late to the video call because he was putting his two sons to bed.

Nadal, who won 22 Grand Slam titles including a record 14 French Open titles, explained his typical day when at home. He takes his children to school at the Rafa Nadal Academy on Mallorca at 8:30 a.m., works in the office during the morning, and picks up the children at 3:30 p.m. to spend the afternoon with them. He noted that his schedule leaves little time for leisure pursuits such as golf or fishing.

While he no longer plays professional tennis, Nadal continues to travel internationally representing his business interests, promoting his foundation and tennis academy, and receiving awards. When he is at home, however, family remains his priority.
