The director of the production company heir to the emblematic El Mundo TV, Miguel Toral, states that the project “is very important because it consolidates the Unidad Editorial production company as a benchmark in the audiovisual scene.”

The project consists of a four-episode documentary series available on #Let’s go from Movistar and Prime Video, and an eight-chapter podcast now available on Amazon’s audio platform, Audible.
Nadal was very excited to star in this play, now available in 240 countries, and explained his state of health: “What was in the script was to play Wimbledon, the Games, the US Open, but what was not in the script was being lame today. The scripts are not to be followed to the letter. Fantastic things have happened to me in my career, better than I ever dreamed of, also complicated in terms of injuries, but there has always been a way to get ahead.
The tennis player explained what the key to his love for this sport is: «Tennis is a sport of defeats. Only one wins each week. You have to learn to live with defeats and victories. It is a mentally difficult part to accept. Here you have always lost: a final, in the first round … But in the end there is no greater personal satisfaction than having made an effort to achieve your goals. If I have not succeeded here I will find a way to succeed ».

UETV
UEtv It had barely produced since it was born in the spring of 2019. This company assured that it landed with the intention of collecting “the best heritage of audiovisual journalism that with so much merit emerged from the writing of El Mundo, thanks to the drive, creativity and talent of journalists like Melchor Miralles, Fernando Quintela or Manuel Aguilera ».
The company announced that it wanted to enrich itself “with the unique contribution of other leading newspapers from the Unidad Editorial group. We hope, therefore, to surprise with drafting projects related to topics as diverse as sports, economics or fashion, taking as a starting point the best experiences of leading publications in their respective segments such as Brand, Expansion or Telva, without renouncing other content and formats, always with the distinctive and inalienable seal of quality journalism ”.
But UEtv had not managed to gain a foothold in investigative reporting, as El Mundo TV did, and in just over two years it had barely produced minor spaces such as ‘Health up to date’, from Telemadrid.
