Unforgettable tennis lessons : The Sani Resort on the Greek peninsula of Halkidiki stands for unique holiday experiences and spectacular special features, which its own Rafa Nadal Tennis Center is making possible again this summer.
Toni Nadal, long-time coach and uncle of the living tennis legend Rafa Nadal, was on site star coach Numerous hotel guests were able to enjoy training with the likeable Spanish coaching legend. Among the tennis guests was none other than the Belgian soccer star Eden Hazard , who currently plays for Real Madrid. Eden was enthusiastic about tennis training with “Uncle Toni”. And even after training, both of them got along well with intensive conversations about tennis and football.
The first Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre in Greece has been operating since 2019, adapting the methods of the tennis player who has already won an incredible 92 singles titles. The talented and ambitious Spaniard Rafa Nadal, who just at the beginning of June secured his 22nd Grand Slam title, is the centre's main source of inspiration – along with his uncle Toni, who was on-site at the Sani Resort in July as a guest coach to oversee the proceedings.
After a short inspirational speech to kick things off, training took place on the courts under his expert guidance – but he could also be found elsewhere, for example in the clubhouse, where he engaged in individual and intensive discussions with the students and the experienced coaches of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre. "Successful people are those who never give up," said Toni Nadal , thus motivating the participants of this year's camp, who were able to practice their tennis amidst beautiful Greek scenery and luxurious amenities.
The Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca is a well-established institution in the tennis world, offering a variety of professional tennis camps for very young and adult players. Training in modern tennis follows Rafa Nadal's personal motto: "Work hard, have fun, and achieve everything you set your mind to.".
The coaching team works under the direction of Toni Nadal, who also personally influences the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre at the Sani Resort . Personalized lessons from certified top coaches are offered, tailored to each student's individual needs. Since Rafa Nadal himself emphasizes mental training alongside physical refinement, this approach is also implemented at the Sani Resort.
The facility is open to resort guests as well as external visitors and offers programs for all levels and age groups.
