Published: 21 October 2011
The world's number two-ranked tennis player Rafael Nadal appears to enjoy swapping his tennis whites for golf clothing on occasion, as it has been reported the sportsman takes his time on the green very seriously.According to Live Tennis Guide, Nadal plays regularly with his best friend - Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia - and the pair both took part in the Castellon Pro Am on Wednesday (October 19th).
The tennis star likes to spend his off-court season playing alongside fellow celebrity golf fan Boris Becker and professional golfers Jose Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia.
Nadal - who plays tennis with his left hand but swings golf clubs with his right - has previously praised Garcia's abilities, claiming her is one of the best golf players around.
This week, Olazabal said Garcia should be part of his Ryder Cup team in September 2012.
Olazabal - who is going to captain the European team at Chicago's Medinah Country Club next year - said he is sure the 31-year-old will be part of the competition and commented on his charm and charisma.
