One man who always has an opinion to share on the fortunes of Real Madrid is world number one tennis player and life-long fan Rafael Nadal. Despite being busy with trying to win a record-extending 11th French Open, the 16-time Grand Slam champion took the time to thank Zinedine Zidane before attending to come important business on the court.

RAFAEL NADAL WORLD NO. 1 "Of course it was a surprise for everybody but at the same time Zidane is a top person. He's a person that is tough to accept that he's leaving, for different reasons. First thing because he's a great coach and he was having a lot of success with our team. Second thing, he's good person, normal person, humble person. He represents, in my opinion, the right values and he's a perfect example of how somebody with all the success have to do the things of every day."
