The theme song from Broadway’s longest running musical play "The Phantom of the Opera," called "The Music of the Night," and not Shakira’s steamy musical video “Gypsy” is Spanish tennis champion Rafael Nadal’s all time favourite.
"I love the musical. I was there in New York, watching that I think, six times."
"The music -- the music I like. I love that music. I don't know, I like the musical, I like the history, everything," said Nadal.
Though his fans are more likely to link him musically with the video for Shakira's "Gypsy," he describes the Colombian singing sensation as only a "friend".
Nadal is also macho enough to reveal that beneath those awesome pecs beats the heart of a true softie.
Nadal, who has a girlfriend, still lives at home with his mom and says he is "very happy" to be there and is intent on learning to keep his room tidier to please her.
"I think that's one of the things (room cleaning) I really have to improve. My mom really wants to have everything under control and have the house very, very good. I sometimes make her work very difficult," ABC News quotes Nadal, as saying.
