Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal recently paid a visit to his Rafa Nadal Tennis Center in Kassandra, located on the picturesque Halkidiki Peninsula in Greece. During his trip, Nadal was seen exploring the facilities of his academy at the Sani Resort and engaging with young fans who train there.
With a remarkable collection of 22 Grand Slam titles, Nadal oversees several tennis centers that complement the renowned Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar. These centers can be found in Cancún, Mexico, and Halkidiki, Greece. The Rafa Nadal Tennis Center in Greece, opened in 2019, boasts eight clay courts and offers tennis instruction to individuals of all ages and skill levels.
The aim of these centers, as stated on the official website, is to provide top-quality tennis coaching to guests and local residents, offering customized programs tailored to different player profiles. These programs are built upon a unique training system developed by Rafael Nadal and his coaching team throughout their 15 years of professional touring.

Nadal’s visit to Greece is undoubtedly a source of excitement for tennis enthusiasts in the country. Tennis has been gaining popularity in Greece over the past decade, and the country has produced notable talents in the sport. One such player is Stefanos Tsitsipas, who reached the ranking of the world’s third-best player in 2021 according to the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Alongside Tsitsipas, Maria Sakkari also achieved the remarkable feat of being ranked as the world’s third-best player last year, making them the highest-ranking Greek players in tennis history.
