World No. 2 Rafael Nadal was last seen at the Australian Open 2021. After a successful run at the tournament, the Spaniard’s journey was cut short in the quarterfinal when he lost to Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas. It is considered one of the best matches of the tournament as Stefanos won the match after losing the initial two sets. 

Recently, Rafael Nadal featured in a short clip, which was shot while celebrating the 50th anniversary of Spanish mobile company, ‘Telefono de la esperanza.’

During the clip, Rafa is seen complimenting the volunteers for their great efforts in helping people facing personal problems. Furthermore, he vowed to take the initiative in the movement.
