Nadal Academy students shine at 2025 Miami Open

Three students from the Rafael Nadal Academy have made a big impact at the 2025 Miami Open. Alexandra Eala, Jaume Munar, and Coleman Wong have each achieved impressive wins in the tournament. All three have trained under Nadal's guidance at his academy in Mallorca. Alexandra Eala, a Filipino tennis player, has shown her skills by defeating Jelena Ostapenko, a former Grand Slam champion, as well as Katie Volynets. Eala is just 19 years old and has been praised for her focus and ability to handle pressure. She has expressed gratitude for Nadal’s coaching influence on her career. Coleman Wong from Hong Kong has also performed well. He initially struggled to find training facilities in his home country, so he moved to the academy, even though it meant seeing his family infrequently. In Miami, Wong won against Ben Shelton in a challenging match, showcasing his mental toughness in key moments. Jaume Munar, who comes from nearby, has been around the professional tour for several years. He recently defeated Daniil Medvedev and is aiming for a top-50 ranking. Munar has shown consistent improvement and hopes to continue his success in the tournament. Overall, the success of these academy students highlights the impact of Rafael Nadal's training and mentorship on emerging tennis talents.
