These are the emotions fans love about Rafa

The year 2022 started incredibly well for Rafael Nadal: The Spanish legend was able to win three tournaments at the 250cc in Melbourne, at the Australian Open and in Acapulco, then it went to the final in Indian Wells. A few weeks later the 14th coup for Rafa in Roland Garros, since then the Mallorquin has held 22 Grand Slam victories.

That was long enough for the fans who voted for the most popular player on the 2022 ATP tour.

Amazing: It was the first such award for the 36-year-old Nadal, who was honestly happy about the result. "It feels great," Nadal said via Twitter. "I can't thank you enough for the support. Not only for this award, but also for the support I enjoy in every single city and at every single event around the world. That means everything to me. So I am really looking forward to 2023 and to sharing even more positive experiences.”
