Rafa Nadal’s academy in Mallorca has been receiving immense support from the Tennis fraternity all over the world, with Roger Federer gracing the academy last year for the inauguration, and Grigor Dimitrov spending some time with Rafa Nadal there, something that helped him immensely in the second half of the season.
With the off season now upon us, Rafa Nadal has now turned all his attention to his academy, which is vying to help young kids draft a tennis future for themselves.
Nadal is currently in Madrid for the launch of his virtual reality game called ‘VR Movistar Nadal , a game in which fans can train like Nadal and take part in the Rafa Nadal challenge in Madrid.
And whilst Nadal is promoting is game in Madrid, the III Ten Pro Global Junior Tour just got underway at the Rafa Nadal academy in Mallorca, something that the spaniard is really looking forward to.
Close to 250 girls and boys are set to take part in the week long event, and Nadal hopes that some of them can make it to the helm of the Tennis world in the years to come.
The Ten Pro Global Junior Tour is a Tennis event held for young and aspiring athletes which is spread across 7 tournaments across Europe and United States of America.
Nadal then went onto say that even Roger Federer had committed to supporting the academy by sending in his boys for the event.
“Roger Federer said that he would bring his sons to the Rafael Nadal Tennis Academy.” Nadal said.
Nadal then went onto talk about his academy and how this is one of the most important projects of his entire life.
“I would say that it is the most important professional and vital project of my career, it is very special for me,” Nadal said.
“The Academy is a training centre for athletes where they are given all the possible opportunities so that they can reach their maximum potential, and is equipped with the latest technology applied to sports.” he concluded.
