Rafael Nadal He’s a tennis star. There is no doubt about this. And also an all-terrain vehicle. The 22-time Grand Slam tournament winner, while preparing his return to the circuit after the injury suffered in the first days of January and the absence from the Australian Open, demonstrated his versatility and became champion of the Balearic Mid Championship -Amateur, which took place in Mallorca.
The Spaniard, former world number one in the ATP ranking, was the best in the Scratch category with 147 shots, seven less than his guard Jaime Nicolau Olmos, while the podium was completed by James Robert Hannington with 156.
To complete a near-perfect weekend, Nadal placed third in the Handicap category with a total of +1 (145 strokes net). Timothy Carbury (Par) and Oliver Bell (-1, with 143 goals) took home the double victory.
