Because Nadal sells his famous yacht Beethoven! The British Sun reports.
Nadal had bought the boat three years ago and had seen it again and again during tennis breaks.
"When I finish training at three o'clock and think 'Today's enough', I check the weather, and if the conditions are good, I say to my captain 'Let's go!' and we spend the afternoon in the water. I put on my wetsuit and go snorkeling, have dinner and sleep on board. The next day, early in the morning, I go ashore and work out. And if I have more time, I’m on the road all weekends or a week. But so far it’s only worked once or twice, ”he said last year . Andy Murray or Feliciano Lopez would also have accompanied him or rented the boat.
Now Nadal apparently has enough of Beethoven - or, as the Sun speculates, is looking for a new toy. Because Beethoven is for sale: If you are currently liquid, you can strike here for 2.6 million euros. And almost shoot a bargain: The purchase price in 2016 was allegedly close to 2.9 million euros.
