The ATP Challenger Tour makes its annual stop in Manacor, Mallorca, as the Rafa Nadal Open by Movistar kicks off its seventh edition from August 25 to 31, 2025. Hosted at the world-renowned Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, the tournament has become one of the most beloved events on the Challenger calendar, combining high-level tennis with the unique atmosphere of Mallorca.
A Tournament with Identity and Passion
Since 2018, the Rafa Nadal Open has brought world-class tennis to Rafa’s hometown. Past editions have seen stars such as Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, and Carlos Alcaraz compete in Manacor before or after their major career breakthroughs. For Nadal himself, who won two Challenger titles at just 17, this tournament is personal:
“For us it is a great honor to organize this tournament at the Academy,” Nadal says. “Big players have come, and every year the atmosphere grows. Seeing the fans enjoy it and the players leave happy motivates us to continue.”
