There is always a debate about who is the GOAT (Greatest of all time) in tennis. For most the GOAT is Roger Federer, for some others the GOAT is Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Pete Sampras, Rod Laver, or Jimmy Connors. Probably, the GOAT riddle will never be solved, but no one can ever question that the greatest clay court player in history is Rafael Nadal!
The Spanish legend is back from a good stint in America where he had to bow only to an exceptional Roger Federer, and he is ready to add many more trophies in the upcoming clay court season.
Rafa is practicing in Manacor in his natural environment to try to be ready for the next ATP1000 in Monte Carlo where he is the hot favorite.
Rafa posted a couple of images on the social media showing his enthusiasm. The rest of the field is advised.
