Rafael Nadal talked about the expansion
The works being underway, Rafael Nadal talked about the importance of the upgrade.
“With this expansion, we seek to get closer to what an international reference sports center needs. The expansion means a lot to the players because In Mallorca there are some rainy days and sometimes they cannot train in the conditions they deserve,” said Nadal.
“With this expansion of indoor tracks I think we are making a very important leap in quality since the service we are going to give to young people and adults is going to be even better than what we can offer now. It will also help us to have even more events that may be important to the entire Community.
“I am happy because people from all over the world who come regularly will be able to enjoy better facilities and because this will allow us to give a better service to all the fans of Manacor and all of Mallorca. I believe that Now we can say that we are on the way to being a center of reference worldwide,“ said Rafa.
