Tennis: Nadal hopes to see Spain win World Cup
Rafael Nadal
Spanish Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal said Sunday he would love to go to the football World Cup and watch Spain lift the trophy.
 Nadal said he was due to have treatment on his troublesome knees ahead of the US hard court season  but might be able to jet out to South Africa to cheer on his compatriots.
 "I would love to be there  it's my favourite sport " Nadal said after winning his second Wimbledon title.
 "I have to think. I don't know  it's very far. If the World Cup was in Europe it would be much easier for me. But in South Africa  it's a very long trip so I don't know.
 "But for me it would be a pleasure to be there. I am a crazy fan of football  and for sure a big supporter of our team. I am in contact with the players. I just wish the team all the best."
