Rafa Nadal, the 'king of the earth', goes back to training

Rafa Nadal is gradually leaving behind the back problems that have diminished him in this initial stretch of the season and he is already looking with optimism to the clay tour, where he wants to continue expanding his legend and where he could reach his 21st Grand Slam at Roland Garros.

This Thursday Nadal has already trained on the clay courts of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar de Manacor to prepare a dirt tour which, presumably, will start on April 11 in Monte Carlo to later compete in the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, the Mutua Madrid Open, the Masters 1,000 in Rome and Roland Garros.

The Rafa Nadal Academy has shared some videos of Nadal training on the clay courts under the supervision of Carlos Moyà and with a luxury companion such as the Norwegian Casper Ruud, number 25 in the ATP ranking and that he usually trains on the Academy tracks for most of the year. Nadal already sends a warning to sailors that 'the king of the earth' is ready to defend his throne.
