Rafael Nadal welcomes iconic Columbian singer and Spanish basketball player to tennis academy in Mallorca

Legendary tennis player Rafael Nadal has welcomed Columbian singer Sebastian Yatra and Spanish basketball player Rudy Fernandez to his academy in Mallorca.

The 37-year-old is currently going through a lengthy injury break as he continues to recover from a hip injury sustained during the Australian Open earlier in the year.

Despite his fitness problems, which are keeping him out of action, Nadal continues to attract other stars to his academy which is located in his home town Mallorca.

Recently, the 22-time Grand Slam winner welcomed singer Yatra and basketball player Fernandez to his academy.

The picture of the three standing together will give Nadal fans some renewed hope of seeing their favourite player on the tennis court in the future once again.

The Mallorca-born has struggled with fitness concerns in the recent past and has already announced that the next season will be his last at the highest level.

Nadal is currently the second-most successful player in the men’s singles history in the Open era, having won 22 Grand Slam titles, just behind Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.

Out of his 22 triumphs, 14 of them came in the French Open which led to him being called the ‘King of Clay’.

Other than his 14 titles in Paris, Nadal has also won two Australian Open, two Wimbledon and four US Open titles.
