The Spanish daily MalagaHoy has just revealed the details of the future tennis club/padel of Malaga which will be built under the aegis of Rafael Nadal. This sports complex should accommodate nine padel in addition to the twelve tennis courts including a 3-seat center.

This project, which is still the subject of a call for tenders in order to obtain the concession of customs duties, will be carried out by Sierra Blanca Estates and will be located on public land next to the Palacio de los Deportes José Maria Martin Carpena. The promoter of the agency accurately described the future facilities of this club:

"The future Club Rafa Nadal de Málaga will include semi-covered clay courts, hard outdoor courts, numerous padel, a central field with grandstands to host sporting events, an outdoor swimming pool and a multipurpose building which will include facilities such as a fitness and crossfit area, a sports shop, a restaurant, a spa and a museum dedicated to the figure and career of Rafael Nadal, among others."
