Nadal returns to the courts one year after his retirement to train with Eala

It has already been a year since Rafael Nadal officially hung up his racket. Right at this time, the former Spanish tennis player returns to the courts of his academy to share a practice session with Alexandra Eala, the Filipina player who has been making history on the women's circuit.

One year later, it felt great to be back on a tennis court!

It was great to practice with you @AlexEala05! Next time I will be stronger 😉 pic.twitter.com/XMHkkVvfWh
