The Mallorca event closed out the first edition of the Rafa Nadal Padel Tour by The Adecco Group, a groundbreaking amateur padel circuit that combines sport, leisure, fun, and values.

The event was held at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar facilities and was a huge success, with numerous teams from across the Iberian Peninsula participating. In addition to the matches, the numerous leisure events that have become part of the Tour’s DNA took center stage.  Once the event is over, the first edition, which included tournaments in Santander, Madrid, Valladolid, Alicante, Barcelona, and Mallorca, comes to a close. A clear example of this success is that the Rafa Nadal Padel Tour by The Adecco Group is one of the candidates to win the award for best amateur circuit of the year at the “World Padel Awards,” organized annually by Pádel Spain.

Maribel Nadal, Deputy General Manager of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar , has taken stock “We’re very happy with how this first year has gone, as the response from the players has been incredible. The team format has definitely been a success, and the combination of sport and leisure has created a spectacular atmosphere at each event. We’re already designing the second edition to incorporate new features that will consolidate this circuit as one of the most important in the world. At the request of many clubs and countries, we’re also considering internationalizing the circuit, which would be spectacular.”

The players gave very positive reviews of the tour, thanks to the service they received, the quality of the organization, the BABOLAT awards, and the spectacular Welcome Pack that included Nike t-shirts, products offered by NDL Pro-Health, Babolat wristbands, Príncipe Cookies, and photo protection from Cantabria Labs. In addition to the BABOLAT rackets baked by the champions, there were also raffles and gifts offered by QuirónSalud, ZEL, and Bezoya, tour partners. In addition, the winners of each event won tickets to support the Rafa Nadal Academy team in their debut at the Hexagon Cup, which will be held from January 29 to February 2 at the Madrid Arena.

Known for its prestige in training young tennis players since its opening in 2016, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has also invested in padel tennis by developing training programs for youth and adults in state-of-the-art facilities featuring nine outdoor courts and seven indoor courts. Its fitness center, pioneering health and wellness spaces, extensive dining options, and modern residence have made the Rafa Nadal Academy one of the ideal places to play padel.  Now, with the organization of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour by The Adecco Group, the objective is to publicize the values, methodology and DNA of the academy in the amateur padel environment thanks to a new circuit that is here to stay.
