Nadal unveils bag collaboration with Kia and Babolat

A Rafael Nadal-inspired bag? Count us in.

Nadal has unveiled a limited edition tennis bag, a collaboration between Kia and Babolat.

“It’s great that two of my partners, who have supported me since the start of my career, are able to come together and create this beautiful bag,” Nadal said of his two longtime partners.

The hand-made eco-friendly bag was inspired by the 20-time Grand Slam champion’s movement on court, incorporating the drawings of the kids from the Rafa Nadal Foundation.

“My foundation is a big part of my life and for the children to have played such an important role in the design is fantastic. I was happy to hear the children had so much fun with their drawings and the opportunity to have their designs featured on this bag.”

Nadal, who is fresh off his 12th Barcelona title—his first of the season—is gearing up for Mutua Madrid Open, which starts on Sunday. The 34-year-old Spaniard, who returned to the second spot in the ATP rankings this week, will be the top seed following world No. 1 Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal.

Nadal owns an Open Era record 61 titles on clay and is going for his first Madrid crown since 2017.
