Rafael Nadal had a great start to the 2022 season, which saw him lift two Grand Slam titles. The Spaniard ended the year with 22 majors to his name, with Novak Djokovic sitting right on his tail with 21 majors. The Rafa Nadal Museum went through some changes in 2022, with two of Rafael Nadal’s major titles being the latest additions to the trophy cabinet.
Rafael Nadal claimed the Australian Open 2022 title in the most extraordinary fashion, coming back from two sets behind to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the finals. The 36-year-old lifted his first Australian Open title after 13 years, and it was quite an emotional moment for the tennis great. Rafael Nadal added another major to his tally in Paris, as he claimed his 14th French Open title in June.
The Rafa Nadal Museum displays the titles won by the Spaniard during the course of his career. The Museum is located in Rafael Nadal’s hometown in Manacor, the same place where the Rafa Nadal Academy is situated in.
