Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer recently delighted fans by sharing a new selfie featuring himself alongside Rafa Nadal and their respective agents, Tony Godsick and Carlos Costa. The snapshot was taken during Federer’s visit to the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca, Spain, where the Swiss maestro explored the facilities and posed for a memorable photograph with the Spanish tennis legend.
Since his retirement from professional tennis in 2022, Federer has actively engaged in various aspects of his life, making appearances at notable events. Notably, he graced the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy on a Wednesday, where Nadal personally guided him through the tour of the facility. Federer has been closely associated with the academy, being the guest of honor during its inauguration in October 2016.
This visit occurred shortly after Nadal revealed his ambassadorial role with the Saudi Tennis Federation, aligning with the Vision 2030 initiative to foster tennis development in Saudi Arabia.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion is set to establish an academy in Riyadh and make annual visits to contribute to the growth of tennis in the region. Nadal expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting his commitment to shaping the future of tennis in Saudi Arabia.
