A Nadal in pickleball? Sister of Rafael Nadal takes part in exhibition to open new academy

Sister of the former world number and Spain’s legendary
tennis star Rafael Nadal recently played in a pickleball event.
Pickleball is the newest form of tennis currently being
explored in different parts of the world. In the recent past, some of the big-name players who recently retired from professional tennis have also played the
newest format.
Nadal’s sister Maribel Nadal became the latest high-profile figure
to take part in the pickleball event. In a video posted on social media
platform X — previously known as Twitter — Maribel stated that it was fun to
take part in a new format. "It actually is super fun and I had a very, very good
time,” she said. “It's the first time I played pickleball. If you've played
tennis, you'll recognize some things but the rules are different, and the technique
is also different. I had so much fun.
"We have 45
tennis courts and 16 paddle courts, it gives us great satisfaction to have the
first pickleball court in the Balearic Islands. I think it's a super fun sport.
I am sure that the kids of the Academy and the adults who come to our facilities
will have a great time.”
