  • Pada usia 12 tahun, Rafael Nadal memutuskan untuk menggeluti dunia tenis.
  • Keputusan tersebut sangatlah tepat karena Rafael Nadal kini menjadi Raja Lapangan Tanah Liat.

SKOR.id - Tumbuh di tengah keluarga yang sangat kental dengan dunia olahraga, Rafael Nadal sempat bingung memilih antara sepak bola atau tenis.

Petenis asal Spanyol ini tumbuh di Pulau Mallorca, Spanyol, dengan daya tarik pada tenis dan sepak bola.

Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh dua orang pamannya, Tony Nadal dan Miguel Angel Nadal.

Tony Nadal waktu itu adalah seorang pelatih tenis. Sedangkan Miguel Angel Nadal adalah pemain sepak bola profesional.

Miguel Angel Nadal tercatat pernah memperkuat Mallorca dan Barcelona, serta bermain 62 kali untuk timnas Spanyol.

Pada usia 12 tahun, Rafael Nadal dihadapkan pada pilihan antara berkarier di dunia tenis atau sepak bola.

Nadal yang sempat galau akhirnya memilih untuk mengikuti jejak Tony dan fokus mengejar karier pada olahraga tenis.

Keputusan tersebut ternyata tepat karena pada usia 16 tahun, Nadal berhasil menduduki peringkat ke-112 dunia.

Seiring bertambahnya usia, Nadal semakin matang dan mendapat julukan Raja Lapangan Tanah Liat serta sempat meraih titel tunggal putra nomor satu dunia.

Meski begitu, Nadal tidak benar-benar meninggalkan sepak bola.

Nadal yang mengaku sebagai fan Real Madrid sering unjuk gigi menampilkan kepiawaiannya menggocek bola di lapangan hijau.

Petenis 34 tahun tersebut bahkan sempat bertanding sepak bola dalam ajang kemanusiaan yang diadakan oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB) pada 2004.

Selain itu, dalam buku biografinya, Nadal menyebut bahwa sepak bola adalah dunianya di luar tenis.

"Tenis adalah keahlian saya, meski demikian saya sangat menikmati bermain bola. Saya menyukai sepak bola tetapi hanya untuk bersenang-senang," kata Nadal.

Petenis yang saat ini menduduki peringkat dua dunia itu adalah salah satu kandidat terfavorit meraih medali emas Olimpiade Tokyo 2020 tahun depan.

Saat ini, Rafael Nadal belum menentukan turnamen apa yang akan diikutinya pada paruh kedua 2020 yang masih di tengah pandemi Covid-19.
