Babolat, the French racquet manufacturer, has been Rafael Nadal’s sponsor from the beginning and has created a customized bag for the 22-time Grand Slam champion, who will retire from tennis this week, marking the end of an era.
As he takes the court in Málaga, Rafa will wield his signature Pure Aero Rafa Origin racquets and carry a specially designed bag, personalized to celebrate his legendary achievements. The bag proudly displays tributes to his remarkable career, including the words: “Rafa Nadal & Babolat since 1995,” along with notable milestones such as:
- 1250 Babolat racquets used and not a single one broken
- 22 Grand Slam titles
- 36 Masters 1000 titles
- 23 ATP 500 titles
- 10 ATP 250 titles
- 125 Babolat bags used
This bag stands as a symbol of Rafa’s incredible journey, marking his final chapter in the sport with the same precision and excellence that defined his illustrious career.
