The Rafa Nadal Academy has once again become one of the major hubs of international tennis during the pre-season period. With their sights set on the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, and the preceding tournaments to be held on Australian soil, players like Lorenzo Sonego and Jan-Lennard Struff are fine-tuning their preparation in these final weeks of 2025.
As is now tradition, the Manacor academy is hosting tennis players from all over the world these days, who have chosen its facilities for their training camp before embarking on one of the most demanding tours of the calendar.
Among the players currently training at the Academy are established names from the ATP circuit and promising young talents. Players like Lorenzo Sonego are returning to Manacor for the third consecutive year, as is the German Jan-Lennard Struff. They have been joined by experienced players such as Fabian Maroszan, Norbert Gombos, Alex Molcan, Nikoloz Basilashvili, Kamil Majchrzak, and Jesper de Jong.
All of them are sharing the courts these days with players trained at the Academy itself, such as Coleman Wong, Abdullah Shelbayh, and Martín Landaluce, who prepared at the academy for his participation in the Next Gen ATP Finals. They have also shared the court with Ivan Ivanov, who, after winning two Grand Slam titles in 2025, became the world’s top-ranked junior player.
Meanwhile, after achieving the best year of his career, Jaume Munar will also be joining the pre-season training in Manacor these days. Regarding players from the WTA circuit, and following an exciting 2025, academy players Solana Sierra and Alex Eala are preparing for 2026, accompanied by Alina Korneeva.
