Federer signed autographs and took selfies with children, making memories for the youngsters who are just taking their first steps in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\nFederer has often been close at hand during the development of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, which he first saw in person at the official inauguration in 2016. Having witnessed the progress of the centre throughout its first decade of existence, Federer returned in January 2024 to enjoy the growth of a sports complex of international prestige.<\/p>\n<p>\nFederer and Nadal forged one of the most emblematic rivalries in the sport\u2019s history between 2004 and 2019, with a total of 40 Lexus ATP Head2Head encounters on some of the game\u2019s biggest stages. Nadal reigned victorious in 24 of those matches.<\/p>\n<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been translated from <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/es\" target=\"_blank\">ATPTour.com\/es<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Federer Federer reunites with Nadal at Spaniard&#8217;s academy Swiss visits Manacor complex Thursday July 17, 2025 Rafa&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-3881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
