The 21-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal has launched a new programme known as the UAX Rafael Nadal Sports University. Nadal over the years has given back a lot to the sports starting from charity matches to helping out the underprivileged. The Rafael Nadal tennis academy which is in Mallorca has helped the community in Spain grow overall exponentially. 

The latest upgrade for the Rafael Nadal Academy was to join hands with Alfonso X the Wise University and will promote his own project, the University of Sports. The main aim of the university of sports has to be to bring more people into the sports industry by widening its branches to different routes. The University will be officially presented on the 28th of April.

 After the Rafael Nadal Academy which helps a lot of tennis players to get in shape and get better, the Rafael Nadal University of Sports is also an ambitious aim with a bright future. The Spaniard is trying to bring more people to the sports industry and is increasing its chances of growth and sustainability.

Rafael Nadal was out with a serious foot injury but he got back just in the nick of time to feature at the Australian Open and with every game he became exceptional. He eventually won the Happy Slam and broke the jinx of 20 Grand Slams. His buildup to the Australian Open was very good as he won the title in Melbourne right after returning from injury and that win gave him a lot of confidence. 

After his Australian Open success, Nadal continued his progress and won the Mexico Open as he defeated Britain’s Cameron Norrie. Nadal had a 20-0 record until Taylor Fritz defeated him in the finals of the Indian Wells. 

It was after the finals at the Indian Wells, the 35-year-old was diagnosed with a stress fracture in the ribs. It meant that he could not take part in the Miami Open and will miss the majority of the clay season. Nadal is not a part of the Monte Carlo Masters and has also withdrawn from Barcelona Open. It remains to be seen when he can be back again as he aims to win back the Roland Garros title from World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. But with almost little to no practice on clay will surely hamper Nadal’s rhythm and it will be interesting to see how the Spaniard manages things.
