Despite stepping away from the competitive scene, Nadal’s passion for the sport is far from over. He made a memorable appearance at the Davis Cup, and now, he’s focusing on new projects, including giving seminars and promoting the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy. Additionally, Nadal’s presence at the upcoming 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals has sparked speculation about his possible involvement, especially after Saudi Tennis posted a teaser with the message, “Rafael Nadal has a surprise waiting…”

Nadal has also embraced new ventures, such as a playful collaboration with the Playtomic sports app. In the humorous ad, Nadal jokes about the app’s inability to match him with players of his caliber, lamenting his difficulty finding a suitable match and even searching for his rival Novak Djokovic. The ad concludes with the tagline: “Playtomic, the perfect app…if you’re not Rafa Nadal.”
While Nadal may have retired from professional tennis, his continued involvement in the sport, through both lighthearted promotions and serious endeavors, showcases his unwavering commitment to inspiring future generations.
