Rafael Nadal pulled out a gun and started a battle with the mayor of the town of Manacor, where his tennis academy is for young talents. The scandal touched the Spanish media, who were surprised where it came from - Rafa`s relations with local authorities seemed excellent until a few days ago. But on Thursday, the world No. 1 in tennis sent an open letter to the media, as well as to the Balearic Islands parliament, expressing his pain at the allegations he was subjected to.
I cannot believe these defamatory attacks that I have been subjected to. It hurts me a lot because I`ve always been a match via link to tennis picks for the Manacor people. When you are from the area, you show with your deeds, not with words, how much you love the place. I have been silent for a long time, but to be accused of useful goals when I have always shown a heart and a desire to help everyone here is insulting.
Why is Rafa offended?
The question was raised in the local parliament that he enjoys the privileges of constructing separate buildings and grounds in his academy. Manacor Mayor Mikel Oliver also raised the issue of investigating whether Rafa Nadal Academy regularly paid its garbage and other municipal taxes. Also - no roundabout was built in front of the site as its owners had committed. And in general - the tennis player has taken advantage of his reputation as a star and had the privileges of building the infrastructure of the academy.
I invested a lot of the money I made in tennis, namely in Manacor - Nadal replies in the letter. - The Academy employs more than 300 staff and the children are many times more. The place is - besides everything functional it offers - a tourist attraction. People from all over the world come to Manacor to see her and leave their money here for a stay, food and other expenses.
The Madrid Marca newspaper refused to take the party, but simply reminded Mayor Oliver of Nadal`s role a year ago, in the heavy flooding of the area. At that time, Rafa and the Academy team scrapped their work and assisted in rescue and rehabilitation work, and then the tennis player donated EUR 250, 000 to the municipality to help financially.

Tennis prediction Djokovic: I hope to become the greatest with Goran Ivanisevic
Recent World Ranking leader Novak Djokovic has expressed his hope of becoming the greatest of all time with the help of Croatian legend Goran Ivanisevic, who is currently a Serbian coach. Djokovic dropped out of the group stage of the ATP Final Event in London earlier this month and is currently in another major European capital, Madrid, for his participation in the Davis Cup Finals.
I rented it because we generally have the same culture. Our mentality is very similar, he understands me very well, said Djokovic, quoted by TennisWorld. The Serb added that when he was 13 he first met Croatia.
I have great respect for him because at one time he was the best player in our region and I wanted to be like him. We are friends with him. He is an amazing, honest and outspoken person and a great player. He knows what it is like to compete at the highest level, the Serb continued, talking about the Wimbledon 2001 champion.
There are many t hings that can be improved. There are days when you don`t feel well. That`s why the coach is very important. He understands what mental and physical state I am in. Things are wonderful so far, and I hope it continues to be so, said the 32-year-old top tennis player.
Asked about the differences between Ivanisevic and one of Djokovic`s former coaches - German legend Boris Becker, Nole replied: He (Becker) is as crazy as us, the Balkans. We`re getting on well. I love Boris, he`s my friend. Each is unique. It`s hard to compare them. I hope to become the greatest of all time with Goran.

Tennis prediction Two years after his great triumph, Jack Sock carved the bottom
Sometimes fate makes a bad joke, and that`s what Jack Sock came up with this week. After winning the Masters in Paris two years ago, becoming 8 in the world and qualifying for the ATP finals, the American is already at the bottom of tennis and will be without official rankings by Monday.
Yesterday, the former US First Rocket recorded his seventh single loss of the season, his only win at the Laver Cup demo.
Juice was lagging behind with set against World No. 449 Michael Pervolarakis when he felt back pain and had to give up 6-7 (7) 0-1.
This is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected stories in tennis. At the end of 2017, Jack touched the top of the tennis, secured a place among the elite and impressed with his game. There was a trauma to the thumb and a lot of extra weight gained, and his focus was increasingly on couples who did not need the same level of physical fitness.
Let`s recall what he`s capable of in his good days with some of the mo st impressive career plays:
With his fine sense of ball and perfect willpower, Juice remains one of the best in the tandem, but will have to start his career on a single from scratch.
The free fall of the former 8 has been going on for two years and today it has reached its lowest possible point in tennis. From here on, the road is just up.
