Nadal receives honour from RCD Mallorca: ‘He is a great source of pride’
There are few prizes that Rafael Nadal did not get his hands on during his time as a professional tennis player on the ATP Tour. But off the court, he is certainly no slouch either.
The accolades and recognition for the former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings just keep coming.
The latest came on Saturday, from La Liga football club RCD Mallorca. The Bermellones, who were playing CA Osasuna, awarded Nadal the ‘Dimoni d’Honor’.

The 22-time major champion is the first to receive the award, which was conceived to shine a light on Balearic Islanders whose excellency and values have made an impact as well as a contribution to society.
According to the RCD Mallorca: “The club wanted to publicly recognise the career of the Mallorcan tennis player, a global star whose legacy transcends his sport. His spirit of determination, his commitment, his humility and his extraordinary career have made him into a figure who is admired around the world. He is a great source of pride for Mallorca and Spain.”
