Tennis legend Rafael Nadal, besides widening his portfolio of achievements, also laid a strong impact on the tennis world by establishing the Rafael Nadal Academy which has been known to help young enthusiasts to get ready for the competitive world. However, revelations from a recently passed-out student of the academy have brought dark clouds over the institution’s reliability.

Days before the young Spanish tennis star Ariana Geerlings was about to start her professional tennis career, she mentioned the disturbing reality of training methods used at the Rafael Nadal Academy, which she recently left. Just a few days after her statements caught the attention of fans on social media, they came forward with questioning comments about the prestigious academy.

Fans shoot questions and allegations over Rafael Nadal Academy after young Spanish player’s verdict

A candid interview with the young Spanish tennis player Ariana Geerlings came out to be one of the most trending things on the tennis side of the internet. Besides the expression of excitement that the young star carried as she was about to start her professional career soon, she also gave out the details about her experience at the Rafael Nadal Academy. While the young star revealed how Tony Nadal uses Rafa-like practices to train every other player, every spectator is now questioning the ‘lot of training and little rest’ schedule.

As the trail of comments started, a fan, dragging both Tony and Rafa into the matter, said, “As well as his uncle Tony Nadal did with him for sure This is scandalous!!!”

Another fan, leading the verdict to solve the mystery behind Rafael Nadal’s many injuries, said, “I’ve said it many times before. The spaniard only has himself to blame for injuring himself from time to time.”

Another fan, directly presenting insult to the prestigious academy, said, “Rafa Nadal school of grinding.”

The trail of comments continued as a fan again attempted to draw a conclusion behind Rafa’s many injuries. “Uncle Toni recently declared that Nadal never had a nutritionist. Now, this young Spanish tennis player reports irrational training at the Academy run by the same uncle. And there are still those who think that Nadal’s injuries are due to bad luck,” he commented.

Another fan, insulting the environment at the Rafael Nadal Academy, said, “Toxic environment”

With these and several other similar comments, the fans shot countless questions about the prestigious academy. While the questions originated from Ariana Geerlings’ revelation, she also added words that sort of calmed the effect.

“At the academy, we all put in the same hours of training unless feeling overly tired, and they wisely give us a day to recharge. What struck me is the idea that they should delve deeper into each player’s strengths and weaknesses, really getting to know us. It’s about analyzing and figuring out what works best for each player’s unique style,” Geerlings explained. While fans and media are questioning the Academy’s training methods, it still remains to be seen how the authorities solve this debate.
