For the second consecutive year, Rafa Nadal will train on the Mallorca Open courts in order to prepare for Wimbledon.

Now, and before the start of   Wimbledon (starting July 2), Nadal will face the preparation of the third Grand Slam of the season on the grass of the Mallorca Open.

Rafael Nadal won his 11th French Open title last weekend by beating Dominic Thiem in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win, but there will not be much time to relax as he looks to begin his preparation for the grass surface of Wimbledon, a tournament he has not won since 2010.
