VIDEO: Rafael Nadal thrashes Andrey Rublev 6-1 training at Barcelona Open as good signs emerge

As of today we do not know one hundred percent if Rafael Nadal will play the Barcelona Open, although the feelings are positive and everything indicates that he will jump to the court that bears his name at the Barcelona Open next Tuesday at 4 pm in what would be his debut.

Today, the organization of the Catalan tournament has leaked some images of Rafa training with Andrey Rublev. We know that the first day he arrived in Barcelona he didn't feel comfortable, but that little by little he has been getting into rhythm and that his idea at the moment (unless there is a relapse) is to play. He won the first set 6-1 with very good sensations;

The serve has been the biggest problem he has had in recent weeks because it is the shot that most affects his abdominal area. As José Morón of Punto de Break indicated, we have been able to see him serving with the service motion "completely shortened" to try to protect himself;
