MIKO EALA SHARES COURT WITH FORMER WORLD NO. 1 MOYA, NADAL ON FINAL DAY AT ACADEMY
With Miko Eala heading off to US NCAA Division I's Pennsylvania State University, Rafael Nadal Academy (RNA) gave him the memorable sendoff by granting him the chance to hit it off against two of the best players in Spain.
For his last day on the academy on Thursday, he has spent it exchanging bounces with former world no. 1 Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal himself during a practice match.
Eala shared the experience on social media and expressed his gratitude towards the academy for the experience.
“Thank you to my Rafa Nadal Academy Family for the memorable send off by allowing me to share the court with former World No. 1, Carlos Moya and the GOAT Rafa on the other side,” said Eala.
The 18-year-old tenniser have trained and studied on RNA for three years and have graduated earlier this year.
“It’s been an unbelievable 3-year experience,” Eala added.
He decided to stay at the academy over the summer before he goes off to play collegiate tennis for Penn State University.
Miko Eala is the older brother of Alex Eala, the Australian Open Girls’ Doubles champion who also trained as a scholar in the academy.
