An Australian architectural supplier sponsor has come on board to help promote Rafael Nadal’s soon-to-open tennis academy on his home island of Mallorca. Floor covering company Cosentino Australia announced its corporate presence during the Australian Open to celebrate the fast-approaching May opening of the academy, whose major sponsor is the Movistar mobile phone network.

The academy and its related activities are aimed and developing fresh tennis talent and spotting potential pros among Spanish children. The academy will feature floor coverings from Cosentino on the facades, flooring and cladding in addition to kitchens and bathrooms of the complex.

The company calls its Dekton material to be used in Mallorca the most advanced ultra-compact surface, manufactured using a mixture of sophisticated inorganic, raw materials found in glass, porcelain and natural quartz.

Spanish-founded Cosentino established a presence in Australia five years ago and appears to be a natural fit with Nadal and his latest project off court.
