Rafael Nadal is currently working hard in Barcelona to reach the level of fitness required to take part in the tournament which begins on Monday (April 15-21). The trend seems to be positive and the lights are rather green for the Spaniard, as Andrey Rublev was able to see.

The two men played a practice set this Saturday morning in the Catalan city. And the result came as a surprise, as Nadal inflicted a severe 6-1 defeat on Rublev, who is currently lacking in confidence but is still world no. 6. The Spaniard himself seemed surprised by his own level of play, particularly on serve, as he pointed out to his coach Carlos Moya during the match.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
