‘I Wish I Had the Chance’ – Carlos Moya Gives a Sneak Peek Into the Facilities at the Rafael Nadal Academy

Rafael Nadal is arguably one of the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport. The 35-year-old has a total of 91 singles titles including 21 majors and has been the year-end World No. 1 on five occasions in his illustrious career. The Spaniard, who accomplished innumerable accolades, had the urge to give it back to the sport.

In 2016, he fulfilled his dream by inaugurating the Rafa Nadal Academy. Five years down the line, the academy today is one of the top-ranked centers around the world. Nadal’s coach Carlos Moya, who also holds the position of Tennis Director in the academy, recently gave a sneak peek into the facilities.

In a tweet shared by the Rafa Nadal academy, Moya was heaping praises over the facilities provided in the centre.

“I wish I had the chance when I was a kid to have the facilities that all the kids have here at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar. The facilities are amazing,” he said.

Started in 2016, the Rafael Nadal Academy today encompasses a total of 27 tennis courts, different sports fields, a private school, an experience museum, and much more. What’s more? A team of highly experienced coaches working under the guidance of Toni Nadal.

Nadal’s coach continued, ” You have everything. All the tools that you’re gonna need to become the best player you can be. You have a great team of coaches with experience. You have the best tennis courts in the world. Clay courts, Indoor courts, hardcourts, and also having the school. You can stay here. I think all this mix makes this academy a great place to develop yourself, not only as a tennis player but also as a person.”

The 1998 Roland Garros champion ended the video by assuring that he would send his kid to the academy.
