Rafael Nadal will take part in a tennis exhibition in Las Vegas early next year to mark the first time he plays in the U.S. since his retirement two years ago. The 22-time Grand Slam champion will headline “The MGM Slam presented by Capital One” at T-Mobile Arena on Feb. 27. Nadal faced Carlos Alcaraz in the Vegas exhibition in 2024 during his final year on tour. The 40-year-old Nadal says “I remember how impressive it was to feel the energy of a full arena in a city like Las Vegas.” He adds that “now I return in a different stage of my life, without the pressure of the tour but with the same passion for this sport.”
