On an emotional and unforgettable day, Rafa Nadal and Abel Matutes Prats, CEO of the Palladium Hotel Group officially opened the world’s first “Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre” in Costa Mujeres.

 

As the culmination of an exciting project, the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre had its glad rags on today for an inauguration event that nobody wanted to miss and which was attended by Rafa Nadal himself and Abel Matutes Prats, CEO of the Palladium Hotel Group.

 

When he arrived at the facilities, Rafa visited the sports complex and the 8 tennis courts (4 outdoor and 4 indoor), the 7.-a.-side football pitch, the padel court, the official store and the cafeteria. He later visited the new Museum, which houses cups from the 4 Grand Slams, brought in from the Rafa Nadal Museum Xperience in Manacor, and objects donated by some of the best athletes in the world.

 

In the afternoon the two of them spoke to over a hundred journalists from around the world. “This is the first tennis complex we have opened outside of the ‘Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar’ in Mallorca and I’m truly excited to be able to do so at a complex as incredible and innovative as this. We will try to do everything possible to make this place one that others aspire to. I believe that the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre will be the ideal place for fans of this sport to combine their holidays with short tennis programmes and I’m certain it will be a success. I do not believe there is another resort in the world that has a sports centre like the one now at Grand Palladium in Costa Mujeres”.

 

Later, Rafa Nadal and Abel Matutes carried out the official opening ceremony by cutting a ribbon and unveiling a logo, which bore witness the first rally, provided by Rafa and Abel amid plenty of laughter. Following this, Rafa, Carlos Moyá (Technical Director of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar) and the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre coaches put on a clinic. As many as 98 people had the chance to share the court with the 17-time Grand Slam champion. Another important part of the event was the announcement that KIA Motors Mexico will be one of the main sponsors of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre.

 

To finish the day, Rafa attended the evening inauguration of the TRS Coral Hotel and Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa, the facilities that house the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre.

 
 

What is the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre?

 

The Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre is a new line of sports centres inspired by the training methodology used at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Manacor. The privileged natural surroundings of Costa Mujeres provide great added value for any travellers and tennis fans who are looking for holidays in paradise while improving their technique, enjoying an innovative and luxurious resort with facilities and features designed for disconnecting from daily life and discovering an unexplored tourist destination in Mexico.
