Rafael Nadal, winner of both the Monte Carlo Masters and the Barcelona Open in April, was practising on the training court in Madrid on Saturday (May 6) for the Madrid Open tournament.
The Spaniard was watched by a sizable number of spectators as he served and volleyed on the training court.
Nadal is fourth seed for the tournament, behind Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, but he has had a most successful 2017 so far.
Apart from his three titles in Monaco, Barcelona, and Brisbane, Nadal reached the finals at Miami, Indian Wells and the Australian Open – losing to Roger Federer in all three – and Acapulco, where he lost to big serving Sam Querrey.
