#AUSopen
ALL elite players (e.g., RAFA, Dominic Thiem, NOLE, Naomi Osaka, SERENA, Simona HALEP) can hit the practice courts daily with POLICE escort, per local rules in Adelaide.
This year, RAFA's sparring partners at the AO are Marc Lopez (ESP) and Jannik Sinner (ITA).
Rafael Nadal arrived Down Under with his father Sebastian NADAL, Francisco Roig as his coach, Rafael Maymo (physio), Carlos Costa (agent), and Benito Perez Barbadillo (PR Manager).
Coach Carlos Moya did NOT make the trip this year.
