The 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has a ripped physique that any man would dream to have.
During his early days, Nadal used to wear sleeveless T-shirts during his matches, and his pumped biceps, as well as amazing game, caught the attention of fans all over the world.
Now, the Spanish legend wears the more orthodox half sleeve but still boasts a marvelous physique at the age of 36.
During a post-match interview at the Australian Open, Nadal revealed why he chose to wear sleeveless T-shirts. Nadal said, “Well, I don’t know. I am comfortable like this. You like it?”
As the interview went along, the interviewer said, “I think you look good this way. I like it, it’s good. For me, it works, for me, it’s good, but I’ll tell you when I’m walking on the street this morning for my coffee, a woman, she comes to me and she says listen, Rafa is playing tonight. Please ask him because I miss it to show me the muscles one more time.”
Nadal obliged as he went on to pull up his sleeve and flexed his bicep to a rousing ovation from the fans in attendance.
