In a delightful crossover between pop music and tennis, chart-topping sensation Sebastián Yatra recently took to the Rafa Nadal Academy's court, joining none other than tennis titan Rafael Nadal. The reason? To hone his tennis skills ahead of his US Open charity match with world #1 Carlos Alcaraz on August 23rd, aptly titled "Stars of the Open."

Yet, it isn't all about tennis for this versatile star. Sebastián Yatra is all set to set the stage ablaze on August 25th with “Sounds Of The Open Presented By Chase,” a performance that promises to reverberate with his summer blockbuster – “VAGABUNDO.” Not only did Alcaraz play a part in inviting Yatra to the US Open, but he's also been singing praises of “VAGABUNDO,” which he fondly crowned as his go-to summer jam.

From Alcaraz's playlist to the prestigious official Wimbledon playlist, “VAGABUNDO” has taken the music industry by storm. It now boasts an RIAA Platinum® certification in the U.S., is a 2x Platinum® sensation in Spain, and has bagged numerous Gold® certifications throughout Latin America. Yatra's collaboration with Manuel Turizo and Beéle has undeniably borne fruit.
