There are few prizes that Rafael Nadal has not won during his time as a professional tennis player on the ATP Tour. But he is certainly not slow off the field either.
The accolades and recognition keep coming for the former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings.
The latest came from La Liga football club RCD Mallorca on Saturday. The Bermellones, who played against CA Osasuna, awarded Nadal the ‘Dimoni d’Honor’.

The 22-time Major champion is the first to receive the award, which aims to shine a light on the Balearic Islands whose excellence and values have made both an impact and contribution to society.
According to the RCD Mallorca: “The club wanted to publicly recognize the career of the Mallorcan tennis player, a world star whose legacy transcends his sport. His determination, his dedication, his humility and his extraordinary career have made him a figure admired all over the world. He is a great source of pride for Mallorca and Spain.”
