Nadal's first words on his return to Mallorca: "My life is changing radically".
Two days after Spain's elimination from the Davis Cup, Rafael Nadal returned to his native Mallorca.
In his first days as a retiree, the former world No.1 is still the center of media attention.
Unsurprisingly, having only just landed in Mallorca, journalists had time to ask him a few questions about his first sensations as a retired player: "The Davis Cup is always a great experience, and I really enjoyed it. In the end, the result wasn't what we would have liked, but that's sport.
My life has changed radically. I accept things in a normal way and I'm living a different life to what the last thirty years have been."
