Rafael Nadal is putting more and more training hours on clay making it almost impossible to imagine him playing at the US Open.
Plausibly, the world no.2 will put all his focus on the clay-court season as winning his 13th Roland Garros would make him tie Roger Federer’s record of 20 slams.
The Spanish legend has shared a training session with Daniel Rincon, an upcoming Spanish player that last year managed to win the Orange Ball in both singles and doubles.
It interesting to notice that besides being another lefty, Daniel’s movement on the forehand is similar to Rafa’s. Why not?

Presently, this year the Spaniard has a 13-3 win-loss record. Nadal conquered 1 title in Acapulco.
