Rafa's Schedule
According to the Spanish radio COPE, Rafa wants to convince Carlos Alcaraz to play together in a clay court tournament before the Olympic Games, but COPE's article Olly tweeted (above) doesn't mention the Hamburg tournament:
El consejo de Juanma Castaño a Carlos Alcaraz tras ganar su primer Roland Garros: "Ni de coña"
El tenista murciano de 21 años conquistó su primera Copa de los Mosqueteros tras vencer en la final al tenista alemán Alexander Zverev en cinco sets.

Rafa - a Businessman
Time Out Dubai says that “TATEL Dubai, in partnership with sports stars Rafael Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pau Gasol, is now officially open in Dubai”, but I’m not sure Rafa is still a shareholder in the TATEL restaurant chain.
TATEL Dubai is the 8th restaurant in the TATEL restaurant chain, whose first restaurant was opened in Madrid in 2014. The restaurant chain was created and operated by Mabel Capital, the investment company owned by Rafa (33%) and two Spanish businessmen, but the three owners have reached an agreement to split the company into two: Rafa & one businessman will keep the real estate business and the other businessman will operate the restaurants. According to some newspapers, Rafa will also be involved in the restaurant business.

As a BIG rafa fan, MAN do i really want Nadal to get a hair transplant (or another session if hes gotten one before). His hair on the front just look so weird and messy, and falling. I have gotten two sessions of hair transplants and am so happy i got them done. Or he could simply wear a high quality hair piece. He would look so much better.

Or maybe as a BIG "rafa" fan you should let the man make his own damn choices about aging, and not harp negatively about his looks, of all things.

Rafa is a smart businessman using his brand name and perpetuating his legacy.
Rafa Nadal International School, which is situated within the Rafa Nadal Academy allows athletes to combine tennis and studies... this year 52 kids graduated from his school. the school charges 55000euros/year!
Ruud's sister graduating

Yes, this was also my initial thought. But Rafa's career statistics @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Nadal_career_statistics (i.e. 23 ATP 500 and 10 ATP 250) don't support that.

I know it isnt. Im just saying he will look better with a simple procedure. it's just my own opinion. We dont have to consider Nadal as a God, and defend him on everything. It's ok, in most ways he is human just like all of us

Rafa Nadal Foundation
Children participating in the RN Foundation’s project titled Play All celebrated the end of the school year (the project is running during a school year.)
The RNF website:
¤¤ “Play All” was born with the objective of promoting positive values among minors through the regular practice of tennis.
Where
The groups where the “Play All” Project is developed are located in vulnerable areas of the city of Barcelona.
The project is located in neighborhoods that present a series of social problems related to the degradation of infrastructure, the low socioeconomic level of families and the increase in the immigrant population with great lack of access to standardized resources, such as sports, in this case tennis.
Methodology
The main objective of this new project, which is carried out thanks to the alliance with Nike and the collaboration of the Fundació Tennis Barcelona , is to accompany minors through regular tennis training and use this sport as a tool for transmitting four values. Positives: sportsmanship, commitment, camaraderie and effort.
Beneficiaries
The Play All project has as direct beneficiaries the group of boys, girls and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 16. who are in a situation of social vulnerability.
Goals
We work with the objective of providing access to tennis to those minors who would find it difficult to practice this sport. Through the training, we work with the beneficiaries on four important values both on and off the track.¤¤ (Translated from Spanish via Google.)
