Nadal returns to tennis court with WTA star one year after tearful retirement

Rafael Nadal has returned to the tennis court on the anniversary of his emotional retirement. Exactly one year after the Spanish superstar hung up his racket at the Davis Cup Finals, he took to social media to share a video of himself sparring with WTA sensation Alexandra Eala.

Aged 20, Eala is a Rafa Nadal Academy graduate, and she’s enjoyed a breakout season this year.
