Rafa Nadal is back home in Mallorca after spending yesterday afternoon watching the quarterfinals of the ‘Champions League’ match between Liverpool and his beloved Real Madrid at the ‘Santiago Bernabéu’ Stadium.

Sadly for Rafa, “the result wasn’t what the team wanted, however, they have to keep being positive”, “In their next match they have to go out there and believe in victory. They have to go to Liverpool with their hearts full”, said the world number 1 after Real’s 0-1 loss.

BACK TO (DAVIS CUP) BUSINESS

Rafa is also back training after spending a few days resting and relaxing from all the hard work he put into his last two tournaments in Rotterdam and the Australian Open.

In the video below, you can watch Rafa train in the company of uncle Toni and his physiotherapist Rafa Maymo, who is also watching over the world’s best tennis player. Together, they have started their preparation for the Davis Cup tie between Spain and Serbia, which starts next Friday 6th of March.

Rafa is scheduled to travel to Beridom with the rest of the ‘National Spanish Federation Team’ this Saturday, which is when the organizers of the tournament are expecting to have the courts finished and ready for the defending Davis Cup champions.

"It will be a very difficult tie, we have to respect everyone and have into account that they are great players. We will have to make a huge effort to win”, said the new Spanish Davis Cup captain Albert Costa yesterday.
