Rafael Nadal is no longer firing aces on the ATP Tour, but the Spaniard hit one on the golf course this week in Mallorca.
The 39-year-old was golfing at Alcanada Golf Club at Port d’Alcudia with friends when he found the cup for a hole-in-one on the par 3 14th hole from a distance of 167 metres. Next week he will hope for similar success when he competes in the amateur Balearic Golf Championship on that same golf course.

Ironically, the PGA Tour earlier this month posted a video analysing the "unique swing" of Nadal, who plays golf righty with a stroke no doubt influenced by his lefty tennis backhand. The video has more than 2 million views on X.

Nadal hit 4,009 aces in his legendary tennis career, according to Infosys ATP Stats. Now he has at least one on the golf course, finding success on a different sort of grass while his former rivals compete on the London lawns of Wimbledon.
