Rafael Nadal could give some of the bags to his friends

The bag is made by his racquet sponsors, Babolat, and supported by his main sponsors, Kia Motors. The bag uses two primary colors, black and purple. The left and right side of the bag has the drawing from the children of Rafa’s foundation. The drawing covers almost half of the two sides respectively and features drawings of Rafa playing various shots.

“And Babolat built it and Kia supported, so something that makes me feel very happy. Thanks. Great job guys,” Nadal said.

Furthermore, Nadal revealed that a few more bags will be made and will be used by some of his ‘friends’. Nadal said, “We are going to build some of them, we are going to send it to some friends of mine. Okay, thank you very much. See you soon.”

Nadal recently won the Barcelona Open for a record 12th time. He defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in a thrilling final where he saved a match point. Despite his hiccups, Nadal kept everyone at bay in his home tournament.
