Following Rafa’s retirement last November, the museum has added several spaces that have provided a great incentive for visitors to experience his career and his values through an emotional journey through time.<\/p>\n\n

One of the most appreciated spots by visitors is the new area dedicated to Roland Garros.<\/strong> This space, which pays tribute to one of the greatest feats in the history of sport, houses all the Babolat rackets<\/strong> Rafa used to compete in Paris, as well as all the Nike headbands and sneakers<\/strong> he wore during his time as champion in the French capital. Visitors can also see an impressive design featuring images of Rafa lifting all the titles, as well as an infographic compiling many of the Balearic tennis player’s most astonishing statistics on the Parisian clay. Another of the most characteristic elements of this space is the replica of the sculpture that Roland Garros dedicated to Rafa and which was recently presented to the Spaniard by the French Tennis Federation and Amelie Mauresmo, the current tournament director. Fans who visit the Rafa Nadal Museum will be able to see up close in this new space a spectacular life-size sculpture of Rafa Nadal celebrating a title on his knees. This iconic piece, created by Nike in 2014 and weighing 150 kilos, has been on display at Nike Europe headquarters until now, when it has arrived in Manacor for the first time. <\/p>\n\n
