Rafael Nadal recently hosted a notable guest at his academy: Aitana, a hugely popular popstar in Spain. The Catalan singer visited the Nadal Academy in Mallorca, where she had the honor of rallying with the 22-time Grand Slam champion.

Aitana shared this special moment on her social media, expressing her nervousness: “I am more nervous than before my concert at Bernabeu,” she said, as reported by Eurosport.

She also added a humorous caption to her video: “If you want to see me beat Rafa Nadal, wait for the end hahahahahaha ✌️ (I admit that he let me win, or maybe not… hahahahahaha🤓). Thank you for this day Rafa @rafaelnadal <3 and also to @mariabel_nadal and the whole family. You are a great example and I admire you all very much.”

Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal remains focused on his training in Spain, preparing intensely for his final Olympic Games, which will be held on the clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris.

Nadal, known as the “Bull of Manacor,” will compete in both singles and doubles with Carlos Alcaraz. His training videos send a clear message to his competitors: he intends to overcome any obstacles in his path to victory in the French capital.

In a recent interview with the Spanish program “El Larguero,” Garbine Muguruza praised the incredible achievements of tennis legends Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. She highlighted their high standards, which make it difficult to fully appreciate other players’ victories in recent times.

“It’s a tragedy. That generation is incredible, it’s always been the three of them. I’m a fan of Federer and even Nadal’s death. But I think Djokovic is the best. He’s also a lot of fun off the court—I’ve talked to him often—a super nice person who has a lot of fun.”
