Roger Federer sends kids to Rafael Nadal’s tennis academy as legend keeps his promise

Roger Federer revealed that he sent his two twin boys to old rival Rafael Nadal’s training centre after they found a “love” for tennis. The Swiss star was at the opening of the Rafa Nadal Academy back in 2016. Two years ago, the 20-time Grand Slam champion joked that he would be sending his children to the Mallorcan facility and it seems Federer kept his word.

A year after Federer’s emotional retirement at the Laver Cup, there are signs that tennis fans could one day see some future generations of the his family on a match court. The 42-year-old revealed that his two sets of twins – 14-year-old girls and nine-year-old boys – had taken up the sport and even spent time at tennis academies over the summer.
