Nadal would've won 10 Ballon d'Ors as a footballer: Gilles Simon

Former French tennis player Gilles Simon stated on X that twenty-two time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal was presented as a player without much talent in his early years. "Nadal would've won 10 Ballon d'Ors if he'd played football," he added. Lionel Messi is the footballer who's won Ballon d'Or most number of times, having won the award eight times.
