Nadal and Ruud came out victorious in their round of 16 match in the Swedish Open after the game was marred by rain delays. When asked about the rain delays affecting their match , Ruud jokingly said: "He’s getting old.
So I’m not sure how his body feels having to start and stop all the time." Nadal knowingly smiled during this cheeky exchange but got his own back when the Spaniard was asked about his country's win at the Euros. Spain were crowned Champions of Europe on Sunday after beating England 2-1 at the Olympiastadion Berlin in Germany.
Nico Williams struck first in the second half with England's Cole Palmer levelling things up in the 73rd minute. However, England's hearts were broken when Mikel Oyarzabal secured the win for Spain in the 86th minute.
