King said she was aware that Nadal is a big fan of teddy bears and presented the panda dressed in black and purple to Nadal when she met him at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca. The bear is dressed in the same outfit that Nadal wore when he won the US Open this past year, making it an extra memorable gift.
