Rafael Nadal, ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation, returns to Next Gen ATP Finals

Like Learner Tien, Rafael Nadal is back for the business end of the Next Gen ATP Finals for the second year running.

As an ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation, the 39-year-old, 22-time Grand Slam champion is in Jeddah to support the tour's 20-and-under showcase.

According to a press release, Nadal spent Saturday afternoon hosting a tennis clinic for Saudi Arabia’s Special Olympics team and other children. A meet-and-greet with fans followed.

That won't be the only meet-and-greet Nadal will conduct, as the winner of the Next Gen ATP Finals—Tien or Alexander Blockx—will receive a visit from Rafa afterward.

No pressure.
