The likes of World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud are among the alumni of the prestigious institution.
The academy turned to social media to post a few pictures of their boys' locker room. The social media post also revealed a huge poster of Rafael Nadal with a motivational quote by the Spanish icon himself.

Many tennis fans couldn't hide their excitement as they expressed their happiness at the sight. The tennis titan was also cheered on by some kids as they enthusiastically chanted his name at his academy. The Spaniard also trained in his academy's gym in Mallorca.
