The Spaniard trained alongside 3 time Grandslam champion, Stan Wawrinka on Friday and is scheduled to train alongside Diego Schwartzman on Saturday. Earlier the Argentinian was practicing at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca to prepare for the indoor hard court season.
Rafael Nadal aims for a 36th Masters title and 1000th career victory
Rafael Nadal will be seeking a 1000th career victory at the Paris Bercy Masters. The Spaniard currently has 999 wins and will reach the milestone if he wins his 1st round encounter in Paris. Only 3 players have managed to attain the feat before- Jimmy Conors (1,274 wins), Roger Federer(1,242 wins) and Ivan Lendl (1,068 wins).
