Rafael Nadal is definitely becoming a star. Last Sunday, Nadal and his uncle/coach, Toni Nada, were honored at half time of the Real Mallorca Soccer match. They were presented with gold pins bearing the team’s insignia during half-time.
The No.1 ranked player is gaining fame and financial rewards from his 2009 Australian Open win. Last week, he was seen shooting a commercial for Kia Motors and he also attended a press conference for Spanish insurance company called Mapfre.
Those aren’t the only sponsors! He’s also scored an $11.5 million campaign to promote tourism to Spain’s Balearic Islands. And he’s in Nike’s new “V Is for Victory” campaign. Wait! That’s not all.
You will also see him in print ads for L’homme Sport cologne, which will be released this summer. Yeah, I’d say he’s doing well! It is amazing what an Australian Open win can do for someone isn’t it?
