World No.2 Rafael Nadal has been invited by the US President Donald Trump to accompany the King of Spain in a state dinner at White House. However, will the 19-time Grand Slam champion accept the President’s invitation given his busy ATP Tour schedule?
The King of Spain will visit the United States on April 21, invited by President Trump. King Don Felipe and Queen Doña Letizia were already received at the White House in June 2018 during an official visit. However, this time it will have a state character, which is the highest level between the two countries.

However, Nadal’s presence in the state dinner seems to be difficult because of his commitments on the ATP Tour. If the 11-time champion reaches the final of Monte-Carlo Masters, he will play the title match on April 19.
