We’re supporting the Sabadell Bank Rafa Nadal Open

The Sabadell Bank Rafa Nadal Open has been launched at an event organised by Movistar at the Rafa Nadal Academy. This Challenger category tournament, whose sponsors include Mallorca Sotheby’s International Realty, will run from 25 August to 2 September.

At the press conference, Rafa Nadal was joined by the President of the Upper Council for Sports, Ms. María José Rienda,the President of the Royal Tennis Federation, Mr Miguel Díaz, the competitions Director Joan Suasi and the Regional Manager for Sabadell Bank in the Balearic Islands, Mr. Pedro Ballester.

 Rafa Nadal highlighted the importance of this event for the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar: “I believe the tournament is important both for the Academy and for Manacor itself. Weve been in existence for some years now, and weve grown in every sense - in terms of the number of youngsters attending the Academy and in terms of organising events. Weve already organised the Championship of Spain, Futures Tournaments, Seniors Tournaments... but organising a Challenger is a step in the right direction for us at the Academy. Obviously, on a personal level, it is rewarding to see that things are progressing in the way we intended. 

In this regard, Rafa wanted to thank Mr Miguel Díaz for the Royal Tennis Federation of Spain’s work in increasing the number of this class of tournament in Spain. Indeed, Mr Miguel Díaz reminded everyone that this will also be a great opportunity to see young Spanish players in action, as these kinds of tournaments provide a great showcase for their talents.   

The Director of the Sabadell Bank Rafa Nadal Open, Joan Suasi stressed how important it is that there is no admission charge to the tournament, something which will enable a larger number of fans to attend the event and to enjoy seeing great players display their ability. Both Joan and Rafa highlighted the importance of the involvement of Sabadell Bank and the other sponsors, without whom this event could not have taken place.
