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.'

😭

He leído informaciones que me relacionan con posibles candidaturas a la presidencia del Real Madrid. Me gustaría aclarar que estas informaciones no son ciertas.

[Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal]

Gracias @MutuaMadridOpen y @realmadrid. Ha sido muy especial disfrutar de esta pista única en el Bernabéu.

Buen nivel, @thibautcourtois y @BellinghamJude 👏🏻

“Dad, was Nadal actually as good as they say?”

“Son, he defeated peak Federer at Wimbledon. Beat prime Djokovic in two USO finals. Olympic Gold in his first try. Won AO from 0-2 down at 36... he was the best.”

“Wow! But that's all on grass & HC. Was he not that good on clay?”

Rafa played his final competitive match on Nov 19, 2024, but this cap was meant to be a part of his Winter/Holiday *2025* lineup 👀.
A full year after his retirement.

On the eve of the @AustralianOpen men's final last week, when Kia presented Rafa with a bespoke EV9 Art Car inspired by his AO championship years (2009 & 2022), and while praising @DjokerNole for his resilience and commitment, he quietly admitted something heartbreaking 💔:
he would have happily continued playing if injuries hadn’t forced his hand.

And suddenly, this cap makes sense.

It proves that Rafa planned to still be out there.
Still competing.
Still writing chapters.
Still wearing his signature line.

This cap isn’t merch.
It’s evidence of a career that was meant to go on.

A small piece of fabric…
from an alternate timeline where injuries never won.

We miss you so so much, Champion.

[Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal]

Enhorabuena @carlosalcaraz por ganar el @AustralianOpen y conquistar el Career Grand Slam! 👶👏🏻

Congratulations @DjokerNole on reaching another final in Melbourne and continuing to make history in our sport. Thank you for your words during the ceremony!

From Novak, to Rafa. From one legend to another 🙌

Más allá de los resultados, la Caja Mágica siempre ha sido un lugar especial para mí por el cariño del público. ¡Os esperamos esta semana en Madrid apoyando al @rnadalacademy Team by @grupocox en la @hexagoncup_! 🔥

¡Mucha suerte, equipo! 💪🏼

This was always stuck in my mind….

“When the draw was made 12 days ago, fate whispered to Rafa ‘A storm is brewing,’ and Rafa, without hesitation, whispered back, ‘Here – at Roland Garros – I AM the storm’”- Poetic

Welcome, @RafaelNadal 👋

[Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal]

Me parece que no podré jugar el @australianopen en enero 😂

He tenido que someterme a una intervención en la mano por un problema que venía arrastrando desde hace mucho tiempo, ¡pero espero estar bien pronto! 🤗

Looks like I won’t be able to play the @AustralianOpen 2026 😂

I had to undergo hand surgery because of an issue I’d been dealing with for a long time, but I hope to be fine soon! 🤗

[Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal]

I was glad to welcome the young champions competing in the Masters Final of the Babolat Cup 2025 at the @rnadalacademy this week!

Supporting projects that help to share my passion for tennis with the next generation always means a lot to me. Even more so with my @babolat family, who are celebrating 150 years of passion, hard work, and joy on court, values I deeply believe in.

Keep playing hard, but above all, have fun! 🤗
