Rafael Nadal and Carlos Moya have put Mallorca on the tennis map, and we finally have a tournament in their “own” island.
The tournament will be a WTA International event that will be hosted at the New Tennis Club Santa Ponca the 11 to 19 June 2016; the world no.4 Garbine Muguruza will be the biggest star.
The courts have been inaugurated by the likes of Ana Ivanovic, Carlos Moya, and Toni Nadal. Rafa was eager to express his happiness on his Twitter account to state “Happy to hear about this event in MALLORCA!”
I think it is a great idea. Nadal is beefing up Mallorca with tennis facilities (see his academy). Now his uncle is a sort of ambassador for this event. If you add that Mallorca is a great place to be... why not?
