In a presentation video on social media, 17-year-old Leo Borg is presented as the latest addition to Rafael Nadal's tennis academy on his home island of Mallorca. Already last winter, it was clear that Borg would take the step and move down, but with the corona pandemic, the tennis talent has had to wait.
But now he is in place at the top facilities in Manacor and in the video Borg is seen being drilled by the coaches among the red gravel dust. According to a press release, Leo's training will be overlooked by Toni Nadal, "Rafa's first childhood coach and uncle.
During a visit to Mallorca last year, father Borg commented on the training facility:
- The standard of the coaches at the academy is very good and they do a very good job. That's why my son has come here.
Leo Borg is currently ranked 111th in the junior world rankings.
