Unlike 'chef' Nadal, Halep loves ham and cheese for breakfast

Simona Halep and Rafael Nadal

World No. 1 Rafael Nadal loves to cook and finds it relaxing. But there are a few ingredients which chef Nadal dislikes. In his autobiography Rafa, his mother Ana Maria Parera told John Carlin, the co-author of the book, that Nadal does not like ham, tomatoes and cheese. Interestingly, what Nadal hates is something that Romanian tennis ace Simona Halep loves having for breakfast.

During a recent post match conference at the Australian Open when Halep, who lost to Garbine Muguruza in semis, was asked what she ate for breakfast, she replied: "I have been eating the same thing for almost two weeks - ham and cheese."
