Rafael Nadal is usually seen wearing a Richard Mille watch during his matches. At the French Open 2018 that Nadal  won, he wore a $725,000 Richard Mille watch. It is the RM-27-03 by Mille and Nadal has been their brand ambassador since 2008.

Nadal has already withdrawn from the Western & Southern Open and US Open in New York due to the current pandemic. He has said he is not comfortable traveling during the current crisis and prefers to stay in Spain. He has also said he will take a call about the clay court events in Europe closer to time but he has been practicing on clay in recent weeks at his academy in Spain. So it remains to be seen when he would be back on the courts with his Richard Mille watch.
