The recently crowned Barcelona Open champ unveiled a new kit bag specifically designed by the children from his Rafael Nadal Foundation. This is the kit bag that he will use going forward in 2021.

“Hello everyone! I have some good news because the kids from my foundation all around, they designed this amazing bag. I am super proud of all of them.”

Rafael Nadal could give some of the bags to his friends

The bag is made by his racquet sponsors, Babolat, and supported by his main sponsors, Kia Motors. The bag uses two primary colors, black and purple. The left and right side of the bag has the drawing from the children of Rafa’s foundation. The drawing covers almost half of the two sides respectively and features drawings of Rafa playing various shots.

“And Babolat built it and Kia supported, so something that makes me feel very happy. Thanks. Great job guys,” Nadal said.

Furthermore, Nadal revealed that a few more bags will be made and will be used by some of his ‘friends’. Nadal said: “We are going to build some of them, we are going to send it to some friends of mine. Okay, thank you very much. See you soon.
