The United States president Donald Trump is interested in sports. In his meeting at the White House with the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, Trump not only spoke about politics but also Spanish sportspersons' successes, especially that of Sergio Garcia and Rafael Nadal. 'He is the big treasure of Spain,' Trump said about Nadal.

'Do you know who is my favourite sportsman? Rafael Nadal. I like Rafa. He is a guy who always, always wants to win. He is a winner,' added Trump, who before becoming the American President often attended US Open matches, where Nadal won his 16th Grand Slam in September 2017.

However, the Mallorcan doesn't admire Trump. 'I was in America when Trump was doing the election campaign,' he had told El Espanol in January 2017 before the Australian Open. 'I don't like his way to speak and express himself.

As I am not arrogant, I don't like his style. Since when he was elected his speech was more moderated and fair, but during campaign it wasn't like this.' ALSO READ: Moya: 'It's difficult to beat personally what I am living with Nadal'
