It has been over a year since Rafa Nadal officially hung up his racket. More than a year in which the Spaniard definitively bid farewell to the professional circuit, although his involvement with tennis has never ceased. Even before his retirement, Nadal shared on social media his role as a tennis ambassador in the region of Saudi Arabia.

This move was heavily criticized, but he carries it out punctually and with the focus entirely on sports. Just as he did in the previous season, Rafa Nadal will be present at the upcoming Next Gen ATP Finals 2025 to be held from December 17 to 21, featuring Learner Tien, Nishesh Basavareddy, Martín Landaluce, Rafael Jódar, Alexander Blockx, Dino Prižmić, Justin Engel, and Nicolai Budkov Kjaer.

"Returning to Jeddah for the Next Gen ATP Finals is something I look forward to with great excitement," stated Rafa Nadal in comments reported by the official ATP page. "I have received a warm welcome in Saudi Arabia and feel there is a great tennis energy," recalled the former Spanish player about his experience in the region.

Rafa Nadal's Role in Saudi Arabia

"As I've said, my goal is to inspire the next generation, both in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. Collaborating with STF (Saudi Tennis Federation) to develop the enormous tennis potential in the area, which has already achieved impressive progress, is crucial. The reason for my return is to witness development at all levels and contribute to that objective. I am very proud to help more young people pick up a racket, compete, or simply discover something new they are passionate about."
