The 14-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has decided to spend part of his summer at Rafa Nadal's tennis academy in the town of Manacor, in Mallorca, to polish his skills.

Rafa Nadal, who lost to Gilles Muller at Wimbledon last Monday, opened his academy last year in his hometown of Manacor. At the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca future tennis stars are trained in a high-performance environment with an intensive programme devised by Rafa's own trainer and uncle, Toni Nadal, together with Spanish tennis legend Carlos Moyá. Their summer programme includes tennis training sessions and other physical activities as well as nutrition and physiotherapy services.

It looks like Romeo's effort paid off as he posted a video playing ball with Grigor Dimitrov, the world's number 13th, at Wimbledon on what was, in his own words, the "best day ever". The Beckhams second child started to work as a model a few years ago but now it seems like he wants to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a career in sports.
