Although the tennis tour is cancelled until 13 July, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has started to think about the future to encourage numerous ATP and WTA players to enjoy, where the circumstances allow it, its facilities and compete in a safe environment over the next few months.
The proposal would see the Rafa Nadal Academy possibly become a campus where elite players can reside, train and compete between themselves in matches that will be televised so that fans around the world can enjoy them.
“In recent weeks we have made our facilities available to Chairman of the ATP Andrea Gaudenzi with the goal of possibly making the Academy a centre for the coming together of players so that they can train in an environment that is ideal for first-class competition. While the priority is obviously for a resumption of play for the regular Tour, the ATP is evaluating all options, keeping in mind health & safety as the top priority”, said Carlos Costa, the Head of Business Development at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar.
