Rafael Nadal Fans Attack Andy Murray’s Mother for Her Insincere Description of Bizarre First Memory With Spaniard

Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, both perhaps have just played their last match at the Roland Garros. They have been the stalwarts of men’s tennis for almost two decades now. Fans, families, and former tennis players are now recalling the fond memories surrounding these two tennis legends. Recently, Andy Murray’s mother shared an interesting story surrounding his son and Rafa. However, she was caught wrong-footed by her extra detailing of Rafa’s old habits.

Rafael Nadal fans didn’t look too happy with Judy Murray mentioning Rafael Nadal’s old habit of picking up his shorts in between matches. They feel that’s pretty much “unnecessary” to talk about at the moment. Here’s what Judy Murray tweeted recently, “When I first met Rafa he was 11 years old, playing in the Open Super 12 in Auray. It was his first tournament outside of Spain and he beat Jamie in the final. And yes he picked at his shorts back then too.” Nadal’s habit of pulling his underwear while getting ready to serve has come to the headlines multiple times.

The ‘King of Clay‘ is known for his bizarre tennis rituals. Recently during his time in Barcelona, he had a Q&A session with the Mexican tennis player Santiago Gonzalez’s daughter, Camila, and son Matias. The kids asked him several questions. And one among those was, “Why do you pull out your panties before you serve?“ The Spaniard laughed a bit after hearing this question and revealed that it is something that he has been doing since his younger days.

“Uf! This is coming from a long time ago. Comes from when I was very very small and it’s something that I’ve never been able to get rid of,” Rafael Nadal. Fans really loved that interaction between the kids and the tennis legend at that time. But now, they felt the 64-year-old Scottish lady could’ve just avoided mentioning that in her Tweet. Especially when everyone is a bit emotional surrounding Rafael Nadal’s possible farewell at the Roland Garros. Here’s how the fans reacted to Andy Murray’s mother’s recent tweet on Nadal.
