A daydream
Inspired by Rafael Nadal during his childhood, Arthur Son will therefore have the immense honor of tasting the devastating forehands of the Majorcan. The latter also received the young French hope Gabriel Debru at his academy earlier in the week and we could see that he was already in good shape. “If, at the age of 19, I can stop him at Roland, that would be nice” he continued.

The start of an obstacle course
While he plans to resume competition at Brisbane at the very end of the year, Rafael Nadal is therefore starting his big month of December with this intensive training with a good young player on the circuit. The Spaniard wants to put all the chances on his side to arrive in Australia in good shape and try to win a few matches which would give him confidence for the rest of the season.
