Nadal receives Mbappé’s jersey at Real Madrid’s debut in La Liga against RCD Mallorca.
Rafael Nadal was the special guest at Real Madrid’s debut in La Liga against RCD Mallorca. The 22-time Grand Slam champion was in the locker room supporting the team he is a fan of and had a meeting with two of the club’s star players.
The former World No. 1 recently announced that he would not be at the US Open, and the only confirmed tournament for him in the coming weeks is his return to the Laver Cup, where he will be part of Team Europe alongside Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
A video shared on social media shows Nadal greeting Real Madrid’s star Jude Bellingham, while Kylian Mbappé, the 2018 World Cup champion and the club’s main signing this season, gifted his jersey to the legendary Spanish tennis player.
