Spanish maestro Rafael Nadal is by far one of the greatest players of all time. However, apart from the phenomenal tennis he has displayed, his persona outside the court has been noteworthy. A fan favorite, Nadal is famous for various noble acts during his career. 

Notably, Rafael Nadal has his own foundation as well. Over the years, his organization has contributed significantly to society. Recently, the Spaniard made a huge contribution to The City of Sant Llorenc des Cardassar, who in return have agreed to appoint him adopted son, as a sign of appreciation.

They further added,

“The solidarity, humanity, and sensitivity of the athlete is not only demonstrated by this fact, but also by the creation of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, which through the transformative power of sport and education helps children and adolescents with learning problems or inability to integrate.” 

 

On the business end of things, Nadal withdrew from the 2021 season, due to a foot injury that has been bothering him since the

French Open. He did make a short return, ahead of the US Open. But with the injury coming back to haunt him, a withdrawal was inevitable. Hence, fans now hope to see him back on the courts in the upcoming 2022 season.

 

Can Nadal change his fate and surpass his ‘big 3’ colleagues with a 21st Grand Slam title?
