Rafael Nadal recently announced the expansion of his tennis academy in his hometown of Mallorca. This development comes weeks after reports of the Spaniard selling his stake in the academy began doing the rounds of social media.<\/p>\n

The 22-time Major winner, who retired from pro tennis at last year’s Davis Cup Finals, opened his academy in Mallorca, Spain in 2016. Since the creation of the academy, it has become a hotspot for many young talents. The Rafa Nadal Academy has also developed the likes of Casper Ruud, Jaume Munar, Alex Eala, and Abedallah Shelbay, among other big names. In that context, the academy has an undeniable influence on the future of tennis.<\/p>\n

A Spanish daily named La Voz de Ibiza recently came out with the news that the 38-year-old has\u00a0sold half of his stake in the Mallorca-based academy for a profit of over $100,000,000\u00a0to GPF Capital. If incoming reports are anything to go by, the Spaniard has now gone a step ahead in incentivizing the academy by announcing its expansion.<\/p>\n

According to the report that emerged on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday (March 1), he recently signed on a “new Rafa Nadal Tennis Center” in his hometown.<\/p>\n
