Nadal, who is currently attempting to defend his French Open crown, still has a long future in tennis at the age of 31.
The Spaniard has won the French Open ten times and has another six major tournament trophies in his cabinet.
But the world No 1, who hails from Mallorca, doesn’t plan to stay in tennis for the rest of his life.
And having grown up by the ocean, Nadal is looking to get back on the water when he decides to call it a day.
”It's difficult to understand the life without having the sea next to me," Nadal told CNN.
