Rafael Nadal was spotted practising on the grass courts of Mallorca for the first time publicly since undergoing treatment for his foot.
Just a day after the 22-time Grand Slam champion greeted fans - who congratulated him on his upcoming fatherhood - a video has emerged of Nadal involved in an intense tennis sparring session. However, there is still no confirmation of his Wimbledon plans.
In the video, the Spaniard can be seen hitting a few backhands and ripping some of his trademark forehand shots. Most importantly, he seemed to be moving swiftly without any visible discomfort. Less than a week ago, he received treatment for his injured left foot.
As per a report by Ultima Hora, Wednesday's training was more than just a test to see whether his left foot was holding up well after treatment, which involved radiofrequency ablation to the nerves of the foot. It was an intense training session that went on for nearly 2.5 hours.
