“NFTs are scams, you are better than that” Tennis Twitter bashes Rafael Nadal on his latest collaboration with the NFT platform

Rafael Nadal has been having a great year till now. He won Australian Open 2022 and the French Open 2022 consecutively. He was aiming for a calendar Grand Slam but his withdrawal announcement due to an injury incurred during the quarter-final match in Wimbledon stopped his brakes to achieving his feat. Currently, he holds the record for most singles Grand Slam titles.

Nadal is currently in recovery from his abdomen tear and is likely to be out of action for a couple of weeks. He is expected to be fit for the North American leg which starts next month. He is expected to play the Canada Masters and the Cincinnati Masters before eventually playing the US Open where he’ll be gunning for his 23rd grand slam title.

For everyone who dislikes him doing NFT, I do aswell. But he aint the one controlling his social media it’s a pr team. He probably has next to no say in this. Just ignore it if you don’t care about it
