It’s been a busy couple of days for 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal. The Spanish tennis star has received an honorary doctoral degree, Doctor Honoris Causa, from the European University of Madrid.

The 28-year-old is in the Spanish capital ahead of the Madrid Masters, where he is the reigning champion and four-time winner.

Despite being made to wear a bizarre headpiece for the ceremony, Nadal was evidently pleased with his honorary degree.

Before his tennis duties in Madrid, Nadal was also presented with the ‘Working Medal of Honor’ by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in a ceremony held at La Moncloa Palace.

Nadal headlines a stellar field for the Mutua Madrid Open, as 43 of the top 45 in the rankings are competing, with world No 1 Novak Djokovic a notable omission.
