Academy
RAFA NADAL ACADEMY opened its doors in late 2016 with the goal of offering high quality tennis training programs to juniors and adults.
The camps are conducted by trainers from the Rafa Nadal Academy following a specialized training methodology based on the many years of experience that Rafa Nadal and his team have gathered over their years on the ATP Tour.
The camp is designed to ensure that players have a holistic experience while enjoying pure tennis action.
Foot injury
Rafael Nadal’s attempt to win a record 14th French Open title has suffered a setback as he is battling chronic leg pain.
The 21-time Grand Slam champion missed a large part of last season due to injury and says he is still learning to live and play through the pain.
The Spaniard appeared to be struggling badly at the end of his last game on Thursday after losing against Denis Shapovalov at the Spanish Open.
Grand slams
Nadal, 35, was a bit emotional and heartfelt in his post-match interview on the court. Instead of talking about the individual achievement, he took the opportunity to explain how special tennis is once again with the fans in the stands.
“It is very important for the world to see the game,” he said. “The best events in the world with full crowds, which are very important for players and fans, and for the tournament.
“Thanks again for supporting our game.”
Nadal joins Roger Federer (369), Serena Williams (365), Novak Djokovic (325) and Martina Navratilova (306) as the player to win 300 singles matches at a Grand Slam.
Nadal has the most Grand Slam trophies with 21. Federer and Djokovic both have 20.
“I’m just enjoying the fact that I’m back here at Roland Garros,” Nadal said. “It’s the most important tournament of the year for me.”
Injury
Refreshing from a long hiatus due to injury and arriving in Melbourne without high hopes, the 35-year-old from Manekor won the Australian Open by finishing two sets behind Daniil Medvedev in the final. Thanks to that win, Rafa surpassed his eternal rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the all-time ranking of the Majors.
Iberian has become the fourth person in history to win all Grand Slams at least twice (along with Djokovic, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson). A fracture in a rib treated during the Indian Wells Masters 1000 ruled him out of tournaments in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, before his leg returned to serve the bill in Rome.
In a recent interview with “Le Soire,” Roland Garros new director Emily Mauresmo spilled some interesting thoughts on the eve of the season’s second Grand Slam.
