After an amazing 11th win at Roland Garros this year, Mallorcan superstar tennis player Rafa Nadal is getting ready for his next big challenge, Wimbledon.

This season, Rafa has also won titles in Monte-Carlo, Barcelona and Rome before deciding to drop out of the Queen's Club Championship following the advice of his doctors who have recommended that he rests before Wimbledon, which begins on 2nd July. Nadal has decided to head home for this short break. However, he won't be taking it easy, he'll be training on the grass courts of Santa Ponça Tennis Club.

His presence on the Mallorcan courts will coincide with the WTA Mallorca Open. This means that those attending the women's championship, in addition to watching the games between some of the best female tennis players in the world including Caroline Garcia and Angelique Kerber, will have the chance of watching the current ATP World No 2 train.

Tickets are still available online for the WTA Mallorca Open. Get yours now and watch as Nadal progresses from clay to grass.
