Nadal trained with Korneeva, a student at the Rafa Nadal Academy
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal can now fully dedicate himself to his projects. Present at the Rafa Nadal Academy, the Majorcan recently welcomed one of his students, Alina Korneeva. A great hope of Russian tennis, the 18-year-old player, ranked 213th in the world, had the chance to train with the Spanish champion, as announced by the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Rafa Nadal Academy this Friday.
Korneeva, who won the Roland-Garros Juniors and reached the number one spot in the Juniors in 2023, is coached by former professional player Anabel Medina Garrigues, who herself won the Parisian Grand Slam in doubles twice alongside Virginia Ruano in 2008 and 2009. The Russian player was thus able to spend a privileged moment with the king of clay, crowned 14 times at Porte d'Auteuil.
