It was during last October when Nadal officially announced his retirement after 20 years on the tennis courts. News that undoubtedly marked a turning point in the sports scene of our country.

Since then, Rafa Nadal has been very focused on his other businesses, among which is his major business project: his tennis academy.

The Rafa Nadal Academy opened its doors in 2016 and, since then, has become a true benchmark in this discipline. This was confirmed a few weeks ago by Maribel Nadal, Xisca Perelló's sister-in-law and current deputy general director:

“It has grown a lot since we opened in 2016. I remember that when we started the project in the office, there were four of us, and now there are more than 500.”

However, although it has currently become a great "tennis center" and "venue for tournaments and educational programs," Rafa Nadal has made an important decision.

As reported by the magazine Pronto in one of its publications, the tennis player has decided to sell 44.9% of his academy. This is why now his and Xisca Perelló's assets have changed considerably.
