After four months of continuous work, a team of 20 experts in modeling, sculpting, and other artists completed the statue of the world number 2 tennis player. The statue is placed on a tennis court, hoping to provide visitors with an interesting experience.

Liz Edwards, a representative from Madame Tussauds, said, “Nadal is one of the most requested figures for a statue this year. He is nearing his seventh French Open title, so this is the perfect time for us to unveil this statue.”

Liz also said that, along with other statues in the Olympic area, Nadal's wax statue is one of the most noticed.

Many people believe the statue is almost a perfect likeness of Nadal in real life. However, fans of the Spanish tennis player feel that some adjustments are still needed.

Currently, among all the tennis players, only the statues of Nadal and legend Boris Becker are on display in the outdoor area at Madame Tussauds wax museum in London.
