Nadal welcomes Auger-Aliassime as special guest to Rafa Nadal Academy before ABN AMRO Rotterdam

Rafael Nadal has welcomed Felix Auger-Aliassime to Mallorca to show him around his Museum as the Canadian linked up with Toni Nadal for some practices ahead of his return next week.

Felix Auger-Aliassime is set to play at the Rotterdam ATP 500 event next week as he'll look to defend his trophy from last year. He linked up with his coach Toni Nadal in Mallorca where he used the Nadal Academy facilities to practice. He was also hosted by Rafael Nadal himself who showed him around the Museum.

Auger-Aliassime and Nadal played a very close match last year at Roland Garros where Nadal needed five sets to win the match. The trophy he won at that event was displayed and shown during the Tour as well. It was the closest Nadal came to a defeat at the 2022 Roland Garros.
