Overseen by his trainer, Carlos Moya, and his physiotherapist, Rafael Maymo, the 17-time Grand Slam champion and so-called “King of Clay” began training on Monday with the aim of reaching Wimbledon fully adapted to the natural grass surface, reports Efe.
In Tuesday’s practice, the two-time Wimbledon champion worked on intense rallies from the bottom of the court, as well as serves and volleys from all angles.
The world No. 2 is expected to travel to London to continue his preparations for Wimbledon, which starts July 2.
Earlier this month, the Spaniard pulled out of the Queen’s Club Championships, a popular Wimbledon tune-up tennis tournament, stating that he needed a rest after winning a number of clay court tournaments this spring.
The Mallorca Open, which began Monday, is the only WTA Tour grass court tournament held in Spain.
