Rafa Nadal’s brilliant career has its beginning and end in Andalusia, Spain because in Seville he won his first ATP point (2001) and played his first Davis Cup (2004). Two decades later, in Malaga, he will say goodbye to the official competition, in the Davis Cup finals.
Nadal will say goodbye in Malaga when the Davis Cup takes place between November 19 and 24, where Spain will face the Netherlands. There Nadal will share with the prodigy Carlos Alcaraz.
The Ciudad de Málaga Stadium sports a giant canvas measuring 2,600 square meters with a 15-meter-high figure of Rafa Nadal from behind, with which the City Council and the Malaga Provincial Council thank the Mallorcan tennis player for choosing the city to crown his career. ‘Thank you’ is read on this banner, located in front of the stadium and visible from the highway, which is located in front of the entrances to the Martín Carpena Sports Palace.
The campaign will also be deployed at the Palacio de los Deportes Metro station, as well as in banners, screens from well-known stores throughout Spain, public transport, spaces in the Sports Palace itself and social networks, with the hashtag #ThanksRafa.
