Rafael Nadal is admired all over the planet and by people of all ages. But perhaps you never imagined that a “colleague” would want to meet you so badly.
It is the case of Leonid Stanislavskyi, 97, listed in the book Guinness of records as the oldest ITF tennis player in the world.
As a faithful follower of the Spanish (who is recovering to face competitive 2022 on a court), her dream was to meet him personally and to be able to talk about his passion for tennis.
Invited to the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Stanislavskyi was not only able to exchange words and photos but also had the honor of rallying with his idol. Unforgettable.
