Rafael Nadal, the celebrated Spanish tennis player who ended his career in November 2024, was seen strolling through Primošten after dinner at the local tavern Dvor. The news was reported by the local portal Primošten Plus, stating that the former tennis player then walked the town's stone streets.
His visit did not go unnoticed. Several people recognized him during the evening and asked for a photo together, and Nadal gladly agreed.

Nadal is not the only tennis legend spending this summer in Croatia. Roger Federer has once again visited Mali Lošinj, where he has been returning for vacations for years.
Federer spoke to Elle about his stays on Lošinj. "I come to Mali Lošinj whenever I get the chance. A few years ago, I spent ten days right here, in a villa in Čikat Bay, and since then I always enjoy coming back," he said. He added that it is "beautiful and peaceful" there and that they always enjoy their visits.
During his career, Nadal earned approximately $135 million and was active from 2001 to 2024. In addition to his Roland Garros record, he also won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, completing a career Grand Slam.
