He said, “I just realized that third parties have entered into my profile making unacceptable use. I have already recovered it. I regret what happened.” Here is the original tweet:
Acabo de darme cuenta de que terceras personas han entrado en mi perfil haciendo un uso inaceptable.Ya la he recuperado.Lamento lo sucedido.
However, there was not much damage caused to the Spaniard as the hackers made just one post. It was a retweet of a video from proceedings in the Spanish Parliament, which was subsequently deleted. Here is a screenshot of the same:

Fans replied to the Spaniard's tweet, sending in their love and support to Nadal, stating that they understood his situation and don't blame him.
