Tennis star Rafael Nadal knows, to become a champion nothing can be left to chance and above all during his matching, he follows a very particular routine. In a Facebook live session on Friday, the former World number 1 revealed details of his eating habits and his cooking adventures.
"The routine is very similar, you don't want to take risks with your food," the 34-year-old said about his eating habits before and after games.
"Pasta, white rice, fish before a game. I also drink energy drinks to stay hydrated and fit for battle," the Spaniard continued. "For after games, some drinks and the food is already a little more relaxed, I have what I like."
During the interactive session, Rafael Nadal also revealed how he has coped with the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I have found routines at home," the 19-time Grand Slam champion said. "Gym machines have been sent to me from the academy and I have been in contact with my team, who sent me the training sessions and I have followed him, accepting the situation we have lived through and adapting ourselves to the conditions. I cooked almost every day," Rafael Nadal said on his activities outside of training. "I also read, watched documentaries, learned things."
