King Of Spain Grants ‘King Of Clay’ Rafael Nadal A Royal Title
And it can be inherited by the tennis legend's descendants. Spain’s King Felipe VI on Thursday granted tennis great Rafa Nadal the noble title of marquis, recognising his contribution to the nation through sporting prowess, according to a royal household statement.
Nadal, a 22-times Grand Slam champion who retired last year, was among six individuals honoured as part of celebrations marking the monarch’s 10th anniversary on the throne.
Former world number one Nadal, 39, will hold the title Marquis of Llevant de Mallorca, the island where he was born and lives.

Other given such titles included pop-rock singer Luz Casal and Paralympic swimmer Teresa Perales.
“They are a source of pride for Spain and a permanent reference point for values that should inspire our society,” the palace said.

I don’t think what he’s doing is good for your teeth.

He deserves this. I'm not even a tennis fan but he comes across as a good sort. Plus he has a perfect ass.

Why do all athletes now bite their medals or trophies? What is the meaning behind that? To show it is real gold and soft?

So it is just done to create a strange/silly picture? What a weird meme to have taken off.

What’s most impressive to me about Rafa, and Novak too, is the excellence achieved over years and years.
To hold yourself to that high of a standard and do the work day after day, takes such a remarkable strength of character.

Novak Djokovic is of bad character R10. He's batshit crazy and a bold faced liar as well.
Nadal deserves this honor from Spain.
