Nadal Madrid鈥檚 adopted son

THE city of Madrid declared world No. 1 Rafael Nadal as its adopted son on Monday in honor of his trophy-laden  tennis  career.

“Today is a very special day for me,” said Nadal at a ceremony at Madrid city hall which voted unanimously to give him the honor last year. “I believe in respect for my opponents, humility, discipline, hard work and enthusiasm. Those are some of the values I believe and that is how I understand not only sports but life as well,” said Nadal. The Spaniard has been champion in 13 grand slam tournaments.
