Rafael Nadal has once again found himself commanding international headlines this week, but not for his legendary play on a tennis court. The Spanish icon issued a personal and urgent warning to his global fanbase about deepfake scams circulating on social media, cautioning followers that artificial intelligence is now being used to manipulate both his image and voice in fake investment scheme videos. According to the Times of India and several other outlets, Nadal publicly posted on LinkedIn and other platforms explaining that neither he nor his team is behind any such messages. He stressed these videos are deceptive advertising and asked fans to remain vigilant, describing the use of AI for fraud as a societal challenge that blurs the line between reality and manipulation and calling for critical thinking and ethical technology use. This warning comes at a time when AI deepfakes are an escalating concern for public figures worldwide, amplifying its long-term significance as a cautionary tale not just for sports stars but for the digital era as a whole.
Aside from this headline, Nadal has largely kept a low profile since his official retirement last year. However, he did make a light-hearted public appearance alongside Roger Federer, wishing Team Europe good luck in a Ryder Cup golf video posted by the organizers September 27th. Filmed in Mallorca, Nadal playfully joked with Federer about his lack of golf skills and highlighted his support for Europe, marking a rare joint appearance of two titans in a sport outside of tennis. Pointedly, this cameo emphasizes his enduring friendship with Federer and growing interest in golf, a possible hint at new pursuits in this next chapter of his life according to coverage by the Ryder Cup and Spanish tennis media.
Social media has otherwise been relatively quiet for Nadal, underscoring his shift away from the relentless tour spotlight and into a more select calendar of appearances. There is ongoing buzz about Nadal’s legacy, particularly following his memorable tribute at this year’s Roland Garros, where his career was celebrated by fellow legends and a ceremonial plaque was unveiled. In the background, fans continue to reminisce about his 22 Grand Slam titles and his recent solemn moments with Djokovic, Federer, and Murray, but speculation about any active return or major business ventures remains unsubstantiated at this time.
In all, the week has seen Rafael Nadal blending the serious and the light, issuing a technology safety plea with global resonance and then joining a fellow legend for playful golf course camaraderie, proving that his post-competitive career will be as carefully watched, if less predictably dramatic, as his time on the court.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
