Like every year, Rafael Nadal is practicing hard for the clay season. After retiring from his semifinal match against Roger Federer at Indian Wells and then dropping out of the Miami Open due to a knee injury, it may seem like the Spaniard may have a harder time on dirt than years past.

The world No. 2 was spotted at the Rafa Nadal Academy, which opened in 2016 in his home island of Mallorca.

Nadal will return to the top of the tour in Monte Carlo in April, a tournament he has won a record 11 times.
