Rafael Nadal academy has been hit by severe flooding. The academy was built by the former world number one to train kids in his Manacor. As per the latest report, the facility was hit by severe flooding. The area was hit by torrential rain because of DANA (Isolated High-Level Depression). The rare weather phenomenon occurs when hot winds combine with cold winds.
Despite the weather condition, the official account of the academy shared a message stated that everyone was safe. “Thank you all very much for your messages of love after the huge 🌨️ . The important thing is that we are all well and working to get back to normal life at the academy as soon as possible. Thanks to @BombersdeMca and the maintenance teams for your effort! 👏🏻👏🏻” the post stated on social media platform X.
The Rafael Nadal Academy was established back in 2016. Nadal’s uncle, Toni Nadal, is the director of the facility. Another director is former Spanish player Carlos Moya. Few of the most notable players who have come out of the academy features three-time Grand Slam runner-up Casper Ruud and Spain’s Jaume Munar.
Nadal, who is regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles, has recently announced that he will retire from professional tennis after the end of the Davis Cup. The former world number, who is also known as the ‘King of Clay’ because of winning the French Open for a record number of times (14), has struggled with fitness concerns in the recent past. It is because of this reason Nadal has now missed six out of the last eight Grand Slams. This year, his only appearance in a major tournament came at the Roland Garros where he was knocked out after losing in the first round.
