Rafael Nadal's final stint in Mallorca before he has to travel to England for the upcoming Wimbledon Championships comes at the Balearic Golf Championship, a two-day golf tournament over the weekend.
To no one's surprise, it turns out the Spaniard is almost as good at golf
as he is at tennis. At the end of Day 1, the 22-time Grand Slam
champion is in a very promising fourth position with an overall score of
76, four strokes above the par score of 72. The World No. 4 is tied for
the spot with two other players -- Philip Montulet Salva and Antoni
Llull Servera.
The 36-year-old trails leader Marc Servera Bisellach by four strokes heading into Day 2, who shot a score of 72 over the 18 holes. Tied in second place are Victor Gadina Miron and Patrick Woolmington, both of whom ended the day with a score of 75, three strokes above par.
The former World No. 1 has a good chance of catching up with the others
on Sunday, which will make for a very impressive feat, considering he
only plays the sport as a hobby. The last time Nadal played in a golf
tournament between Grand Slams, he finished second at the Balearic Mid-Amateur Golf Championship in February, and it remains to be seen whether he can improve on the record.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
