Tennis: when a 17-year-old French hopeful hits the ball with... Rafael Nadal

“Dreams come true,” exclaims young Gabriel Debru on X (ex-Twitter). All smiles, the 17-year-old from Grenoble poses with the legend Rafael Nadal. The two men trained together at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca.

With a view to his return to the courts planned in Brisbane (December 31-January 7), the Spaniard with 22 Grand Slam titles invited several players from the circuit to come and share his last weeks of preparation. Arthur Fils, 19 years old and finalist of the Masters Next Gen in Jeddah last week, should go there for a week starting December 8.

Gabriel Debru, born in 2005 and current 311th player in the world (more than 300 places ahead of Nadal, 664th!), won the Roland-Garros junior tournament in June 2022. In 2023, he played in a Challenger final in Prague and won the tournament in Gubbio, Italy.
