Rafael Nadal returned to Roland Garros on Monday to practice and figure out whether he’s fit enough to compete at the second major of the year. And more importantly, at a tournament he has won a record 14 times.
Six days before the main tournament start, the Spaniard trained on Court Philippe Chatrier in front of nearly 6,000 fans. He arrived late in the afternoon alongside coach Carlos Moya and a couple of sparring partners.
Five minutes before the scheduled start of his practice session, chants of “Rafa, Rafa, Rafa” ran round the three-quarters-full court.
