Rafael Nadal was in fact pinched to train on the red clay of his Academy in Manacor and the conclusion that can be drawn, albeit very risky, is that the current World number 2 does not really want to leave Europe, especially considering that the new ranking system will allow him to keep safe the 2000 points scored last year in New York.
During his appearance on the BOAT Briefing podcast, the former World number 1 discussed in a recent podcast how being on the ocean helps him with his training.
