Rafael Nadal is no stranger to the golf course

At the championship of the Balearic Islands there will be 36 other amateurs in addition to Nadal from Saturday, the newly crowned French Open winner wants to at least annoy the 23 professionals with his handicap of 0.3.

Nadal (34) has already achieved this several times on Mallorca. During the Corona break in summer, he also took part in a tournament - and narrowly missed the win. In the final round, Nadal was in the lead at times, but in the end it was enough for fourth place.

After his excursion to golf, the Spaniard is concentrating on his main job again: at the Indoor Masters in Paris (from November 2nd) he will return to the city of his 13 Roland Garros successes. The ATP final tournament in London awaits at the end of the season (from November 15th).
