Rafael Nadal is arguably one of the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport. The 35-year-old has a total of 91 singles titles including 21 majors and has been the year-end World No. 1 on five occasions in his illustrious career. The Spaniard, who accomplished innumerable accolades, had the urge to give it back to the sport.

In 2016, he fulfilled his dream by inaugurating the Rafa Nadal Academy. Five years down the line, the academy today is one of the top-ranked centers around the world. Nadal’s coach Carlos Moya, who also holds the position of Tennis Director in the academy, recently gave a sneak peek into the facilities.
