Roger Federer visits renovated Rafa Nadal Museum in Mallorca
Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer returned to the Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor, Mallorca, to tour the newly renovated Rafa Nadal Museum. He was escorted by Sebastián Nadal, Gustavo Marcaccio (tennis director of the academy) and Gonzalo Pérez (museum head). During the visit Federer praised the museum as “spectacular” and “very emotional,” noting the extensive work behind the refurbishment.
The museum’s “Big 3” gallery showcases items donated by Rafael Nadal, Federer and Novak Djokovic. Federer’s wife Mirka made a rare appearance during the tour. Earlier in the week the two former rivals were photographed playing golf together at Golf Santa Ponsa, underscoring their long‑standing friendship beyond the court.
