Over the years, Spain’s Rafael Nadal has won fans over with supreme command over the sport. The manner in which he rules the courts at Roland Garros is unimaginable. Last season, Rafa won his 13th Grand Slam title at the French Open and even equaled his great rival, Roger Federer’s record of 20 Majors.
As of today, the Spaniard is currently in Adelaide, ready to headline the ‘A Day at the Drive’ event., which will also feature the star power of Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, and Naomi Osaka. The motive behind holding this event is to echo the unity of the city since it has suffered a lot from the coronavirus.
