Rafael Nadal has begun to say goodbye to Mexico.

The words of Rafael Nadal

There is great anticipation in Mexico City for the exhibition that will feature Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud.

For local fans it will be the last chance to see the Mallorcan live, who spoke thus about his future. “I want to enjoy this match a lot because it will most likely be my last in Mexico. Acapulco is not in my plans for the future. Certainly not in 2023 and 2024 seems very far away, honestly.”

Rafael Nadal, nicknamed Rafa, with his victory at the Australian Open 2022 became the first of the Big Three to surpass 20 Slams. The Spanish tennis player is known for his deadly left-handed top-spin and extraordinary mental strength. These qualities have led him to be considered the best tennis player ever on clay where he boasts the beauty of 14 Roland Garros titles.

In addition, the Spanish champion became the youngest tennis player in the Open era to complete the Career Grand Slam and Career Golden Slam, in 2010.
