We asked ourselves… what better way could there be to celebrate Rafa’s birthday? 🎂🎾💙
Our @rnadalacademy players gave us the perfect answer with this photo: competing at #rolandgarros Junior and visiting the plaque dedicated to @rafaelnadal on Philippe-Chatrier ✨🏆

When Rafael Nadal was a kid, uncle Toni told him if he faced a better kid, he would magically make rain appear…
In the 2008 Wimbledon final, rain appeared after Nadal had blown a two-set lead to Federer…
And Rafa told Toni:
'You can stop the rain, I'm not going to lose.'

Never truly knowing how you were feeling and now I know. It breaks my heart.
I love you Rafa, you are my King always 💜

And he Roared! He could smell the blood of his opponent, he was ready to slay & swallow him alive to protect his kingdom.. he was coming for a battle & fighting for the kill.🦁
