Rafael Nadal has not experienced much success tennis-wise this season. After an early exit in the Australian Open, the Spaniard was not able to return to court. However, that doesn’t mean he has been idle. Along with the recovery process, he is working on his off-court ventures. He invested in a non-traditional boat racing league which has now even attracted NFL legend, Tom Brady.

Nadal first invested in the all-electric boat race championship in January. His investment entailed owning a team that would compete in water bodies around the world. Rafa has now been joined by several iconic figures around the world who have dipped their hands in the league.
