Rafael Nadal has earned quite a reputation through his tennis career. The King of Clay has been the global ambassador of multi-national telecommunications company, ‘Telefonica’ since 2014. The Spaniard’s tennis academy recently posted a beautifully shot video on behalf of the company with Nadal’s gripping voice! 

The COVID pandemic caused turmoil throughout the world and several countries were forced into lockdown. Families and friends who lived apart could only stay connected via phone calls, be it video or voice. 

Telefonica is a Spanish company that provides massive connectivity and Rafael Nadal personally endorses their service. His academy posted a promotional video on Instagram as a promotional video for the network provider.

“I have made my network stronger and more reliable than ever. The connection I’ve had during all this time with my family, with my friends, and with my team, has possibly even made me better. The thing is, if you have a great network that connected you to your life, things usually work out for the best.”
