His support did not falter despite some shaky moments from the golfer.

He added: “I honestly had the confidence all the time that he would make it happen.

“He deserves it first of all. I always think that, in some way, there is justice.

“I really believe that he probably knew before the round that he was to go through all these pressure moments, and the beginning is tough.

“I think he accepted it very well.”

Meanwhile, Nadal’s business venture with Cristiano Ronaldo has closed one of its branches after three years.

The pair jointly invested in an Italian restaurant in Madrid called Toto.

Toto Madrid has now shut down, with plans to open a new restaurant in the Spanish capital, while branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are still trading.
