Rafael Nadal is finally back to the practice court as the lockdown measures in Mallorca are eased. The Spanish sensation admitted he was struggling to cope with the overall situation and he was worried by the prolonged hiatus as he didn’t know how his body would react. He had the luxury of getting some equipment from his Academy when he was confined at home, one thing is training at home and another is fighting on the tennis court.
However, the 19-slam champion looked already in glorious form when back on court according to the video and pictures posted by the Academy. The Spanish sensation also released a nice message on social media stressing the fact that the “kids” at the Academy are happy also to practice.
“Hello everyone, here I am, finally back on court. Happy to be back to my practices. I’m super happy, too, that the kids can practice again here at the Rafa Nadal Academy. They are happy, and that’s the most important thing,” said Rafa in the video.
