Take a look at a throwback of one of Rafael Nadal's old interviews where he says that he prefers to play on grass more than clay. This is one of the most surprising words from the man who is now regarded as the King of Clay and has won 14 Roland Garros titles.
The era of Rafael Nadal introduced us to some of the greatest moments in the game of tennis that we can never forget at all. The Spanish legend is currently one of the biggest icons of the sport who has won 22 Grand Slams and 92 career titles overall. We will be missing him on the court for a long time since he has already announced that he will be retiring from the game after the Davis Cup finals which will be the last tournament of his professional career.

Nadal chooses Grass over Clay
Though we all know that Nadal has won almost everything in the game of tennis and is one of the few players to win all four Grand Slams it was the Clay season where he was the most dominant, but surprisingly in an old interview the King himself has said that he prefers to play on grass more than clay.
This might come as a shock to the fans but the answer that stole the show was when the interviewer asked him about which would he like to win, Nadal gave a befitting reply saying, "Wimbledon. But it's very difficult and I have to work hard." This statement is enough to say that Nadal likes to play on grass since it is the most challenging for him more than clay surfaces.

Nadal might have the most titles on Clay but he has always been a personality who likes to be challenged on the court as well. This also shows how much it meant to him when he won his first-ever Wimbledon title in 2008 after beating the legendary Swiss Maestro Roger Federer.
