SuggestedLeadIn: Jose Maria Olazabal, Rafael Nadal and Suzann Pettersen previewed the charity golf tournament on Friday.
SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Nadal, tennis player and charity tournament organiser:
"Well I'm very excited. It's going to be a third edition of the (Jose Maria) Olazabal and Nadal Invitational. It's a charity event for our foundations so I'm just happy to make that happen. The weather will be perfect this year here in Mallorca and thank you very much to all the pros that came here supporting the event. Without them, for sure, everything is impossible."
SOUNDBITE (English) Jose Maria Olazabal, golfer:
"This is the third year running, Olazabal-Nadal ProAm. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for, in Rafa's case, for his foundation and, in my case, for my foundation. There's people coming from all over the world. We're going to play two days, ProAm format. We do have prices for pretty much everone here and that's the goal, it's quite simple."
SOUNDBITE (English) Suzann Pettersen, golfer:
"I'm actually a huge tennis fan, I watch a lot of tennis. I'm a sports freak in general but tennis is dear to my heart. I'm not as good, I think, playing myself, but watching the guys in particular (I like). Rafa's (Nadal) always been one of my biggest sports heroes and obviously to meet him in person would be an absolute pleasure, and hopefully he won't beat us at golf!"
