Mallorca Championships, more Mallorcan than Ever: Joan Nadal receives Invitation to compete in the qualifying round

Promising tennis player Joan Nadal has received a Wild Card to participate in the qualifying round of the ATP 250 Mallorca Championships presented by waterdrop®, to be held at the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponça from June 22 to 29. This marks an important milestone in the career of the young player from Manacor, who has shown great talent and dedication in his sporting journey. Nadal will have the opportunity to qualify for the main draw and debut in this prestigious ATP circuit tournament.

Last week, Joan Nadal had a training session on the grass courts of the Mallorca Country Club, making the most of the chance to prepare for the challenging tournament ahead. “I am absolutely thrilled to get this chance,” he said. “It is an honour to play in a tournament alongside big players as Gaël Monfils, Ben Shelton, Dominic Thiem or the other Mallorcan player Jaume Munar, whom I really appreciate.”

Joan is the cousin of the legendary Rafa Nadal and the son of the tournament's director, Toni Nadal—a family connection that adds an emotional and local pride element to the event, making his participation even more significant for the community.

With Joan Nadal's invitation, the 2024 Mallorca Championships presented by waterdrop® will be "more Mallorcan" than ever, with notable local representation that reinforces the event's commitment to developing talent on the island. The participation of Joan Nadal and Jaume Munar adds a special appeal for tennis fans in Mallorca, who will be able to enjoy top-class tennis and support their local players as they compete against some of the biggest names in international tennis.

The invitation to Joan Nadal to compete in the qualifying round highlights the recognition of his potential and his growing impact on the tennis circuit. At just 20 years old, Nadal has shown constant growth, and his participation in the Mallorca Championships represents an excellent platform to test his skills against high-caliber players.
