HThe countdown for the trip to Australia has started and the tennis players have already filled out the corresponding form that was sent to them this week in which they had to specify when their Melbourne arrival was going to be, what kind of room they wanted in one of the official hotels What are the Crown and the Grand Hyatt, with which tennis players are they going to exercise both the first and second week of quarantine and if they follow any type of special diet.
Rafael Nadal and Roberto Bautista, the two best players in the national ‘Armada’, were looking for top-level preparatory sessions to reach the Australian Open, the first ‘Grand Slam’ that has delayed its start to February 8. The week before there are three preparatory events: two Open 250 and the ATP Cup.
Well, Nadal has chosen Jannik Sinner as his training partner, the great promise of Italian tennis and with which he has already shared the court on many occasions, most recently in Rome and Roland Garros. In fact, both met in the quarter round with the Balearic triumph although it was a ‘break’ down in the first two sets.
For its part, Bautista working alongside Daniil Medvedev, world number four and brand new ATP master after defeating Dominic Thiem in the final of the last Masters Cup. The Spaniard from Castellón has left behind the injury to his right elbow that did not allow him to participate in the second tournament in Cologne and at the TMS de Pars-Bercy.
