Rafael Nadal has become another sports star promoting the country on the international stage.
Saudi Arabia is constantly trying to improve its image among global sports stars. The next athlete to be financed by a Middle Eastern country is Rafael Nadal.
According to Tennis.com, the legendary Spaniard has become an ambassador for the Saudi Arabian Tennis Federation. In addition to advertising, he will promote tennis in the country, as well as the creation of a new tennis academy.
We remind you that recently the Arab country began to invest heavily in international tennis, exhibition matches are held there, and the first ATP Next Gen ATP Finals tournament was held recently.
The tennis player himself sees enormous potential in the country and wants to help realize it.
“Everywhere you look in Saudi Arabia you see growth and development and I’m glad to be a part of that. I continue to play tennis because I love the game. But more than playing, I want to help the sport grow worldwide, and Saudi Arabia has real potential,” Nadal was quoted as saying by the Saudi Arabian Tennis Federation.
We remind you that earlier in the Aus Open the tennis player threw up right on the court.
