"Rafa" had warned directly - this was the first Instagram live of his life! But if he had hoped for understanding, he was in the wrong place with Andy Murray and Roger Federer.
While Nadal answered some questions from his fans in English and Spanish, Federer and Murray also waved. "Andy, are you wearing your kilt," asked Federer - referring to Murray's recently published photo in a tartan skirt. "Haha, I'm wearing the kilt," Murray replied. "True Scotsman."
Then Nadal interrupted. "Wait people, I have Roger here, I think he wants to be there". And then the time passed ... and more time. "Sorry guys, my first Instagram is live, so it's not that easy for me," asked Nadal. Which of course offered food for Murray: Could someone please explain in the comments how it works ..? And: "Won the French Open 52 times, but no idea how Instagram works."
And then Federer was suddenly there. "Have we finally made it !? I don't know whose mistake that was ... "Answer Nadal:" Certainly mine. We are too old for that. "
Federer: Don't need a third surgery "
There was also some good information. Yes, the families are doing well, and no, he hasn't touched a racket since Indian Wells, said Nadal. This in turn made Federer happy: “Perfect! You can no longer play tennis when it starts again! "
Federer himself is doing well, the rehab went well in the first six weeks, then a bit slower, now things are getting better. From time to time he plays against the ball wall, doing fitness and rehab. The second operation was a little easier, "but I don't need a third."
One thing Federer then wanted to know: Rafa is right-handed and plays with the left, it is always said. "A legend," said Nadal, "I can't play with the right at all. I write on the right, but tennis and football don't work on the right. ”What reassured Federer:“ Then I can't be angry, it's natural. ”
Murray plays as Federal against Nadal
Then came the appearance of "blasphemer" Murray. "It was very amusing to watch you here," the Scotsman amused over Nadal's Instagram attempts.
Oh yes, Nadal is playing the Virtual Madrid Open , whether he actually trains three or four hours a day, as you can hear? "I'm not doing anything else," said Nadal, grinning. No - in reality he played his first match today.
Murray, on the other hand, admitted that he gambled last night. "As you. Against Roger." Nadal: "And, have you always played on the backhand?"
"It went great for one set," said Murray, who apparently discovered a bug in the game. "Then your guy got totally tired. I have never experienced that with you. "
