This Saturday, March 30th, marked the conclusion of the third stage of the Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander at the Club Esportiu Valldoreix, featuring categories for under-12, under-14, and under-16 players.

• The Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander continues to establish itself as the premier youth tennis circuit in the country.
• The circuit is charitable in nature, with the entire registration fee being allocated to the development of projects by the Rafa Nadal Foundation in Spain and India.

This year marks the eleventh edition of the Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander across eight Spanish cities (Barcelona, Seville, Valldoreix, Gran Canaria, Valencia, Madrid, Gijón, and Mallorca), where competitors vie for victory in the under-12, under-14, and under-16 male and female categories.

Rafael Nadal stated, “It wasn’t just about creating another tournament, but one with added value,” and it is with this philosophy that the eleventh edition has been launched with the same passion as always.

The youth circuit, known as the Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander, has solidified its position as a leader in the country, not only for its sporting excellence but also for its charitable commitment by allocating the total registration value to projects by the Rafa Nadal Foundation. This sporting event not only values the tennis prowess of the participants but also their attitudes and behaviors, both on and off the court, through activities focused on values.

After nine days of intense competition, with 541 participants and 535 matches played in the third stage of the Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander, held at the Club Esportiu Valldoreix, champions have been crowned in the under-12, under-14, and under-16 categories.
