If today’s headlines screaming “Rafael Nadal is back!” made your heart beat a little faster, we don’t blame you. 😅
And yes, Rafa will be back on court — playing in front of a live audience for the first time since retiring!
Our champ, who ended his legendary career at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals while representing Spain on home soil, will pick up his racket again to celebrate a very special milestone: the 10th anniversary of the Rafa Nadal Academy.
Joined by a handful of friends and former rivals, Rafa will take part in a special exhibition on October 3 in Manacor, Mallorca.
The full line-up has yet to be revealed, so now comes the fun part…
Who do you think will join Rafa in Mallorca? And who would you LOVE to see?
Best wishes Rafa on the 10th anniversary of your astonishing Academy.
Will love to see you play that date
Vamos…..Rada For Ever & Always ☘️☘️⚘️⚘️🇪🇦🇪🇦
Is this exhibition open for public ? Where can we buy ticket ?
I think Roger will join him for the 10th anniversary and exhibitionisme.
¡Enhorabuena, Rafa! Ten years of passing on your incredible values, work ethic, and passion to the next generation. ¡Vamos! 🎾 🔥
There is something pleasingly ceremonial about retirement lasting just long enough to make the next appearance feel historic.
Nadal returns not for rankings, points or another trophy, but for an academy anniversary in Manacor, surrounded by old friends and rivals.
Perhaps that is the better kind of comeback: no need to prove anything, only to pick up the racket and remind everyone why they cared in the first place. 🦌
Federer would be great but how can I see it?
Can you broadcast on Tennis TV?
I would love do see Rafa again
It would make me super happy!!’
