Rafael Nadal said, “The Australian Open is one of my favourite tournaments and it’s great to welcome this year to Melbourne my partners at Cosentino to celebrate the upcoming opening of the Academy as well as their ongoing success in Australia and internationally. It’s always important to keep improving your game and my fellow Spaniards at Cosentino continue to work hard to achieve excellence. I’ve worked hard to arrive at this year’s Open in good condition and I’m looking forward to having the Cosentino team cheer me at the tournament!”
