  • Rafael Nadal proved in the Australian Open last month that he has a good few years of professional tennis left in him yet

    The 14-time grand slam winner finished as the tournament’s runner-up to old foe Roger Federer.

    When he finally does hang up his racquet though, how would this tennis great keep himself occupied?

    Well, the Spaniard recently revealed that being Real Madrid president would be at the top of his wishlist.

    “If you ask me if I would like it, of course I would, why not?” he said, via El Mundo.

    “But there is more to it… I think it will not be.”

    Nadal’s uncle Miguel Angel Nadal played for fierce rivals Barcelona as a defender but Rafa has always supported Madrid.

    The 30-year-old accepts his dreams may never come to fruition though and has full faith in current president Florentino Perez.

    “We are very good as we are,” he said.

    “We have a great president right now and I don’t think Real Madrid need me, but we never know what can happen in the future.

    “It is not something I can raise today.”
