The Mallorcan tennis player Rafael Nadal will travel next Monday to Barcelona to continue his training and physical recuperation with the goal of preparing for his participation in the Dubai Open (Qatar).
Nadal�s uncle and representative, Toni Nadal, has confirmed that the move to Barcelona (instead of staying in Manacor which is Nadal�s native land) will be better for Nadal because it offers a better technical and humane environment in which to obtain the objectives that the team advisor has proposed for Rafael.
The young Mallorcan player was received last Wednesday by the mayor of Manacor, Antoni Pastor, who congratulated him for his latest great achievements, amongst which was his participation in the Davis Cup in which Spain conquered the Czech Republic by a score of 2-3 in Brno. Nadal won the decisive point for the Spanish team in the eliminatory match and later competed in the Milan tournament where he was defeated in the second round.
Rafael Nadal arrived on the island last week after withdrawing from the Marseilles tournament, citing great exhaustion and a troublesome knee for his decision to cancel his participation, although he still preserves his aspirations of competing in the tournaments of Dubai, Indians Wells and Miami. These days in his native city, Nadal (who has already recovered fully) has supported the candidacy of Palma for the headquarters of the Davis Cup quarterfinal between Spain and Holland. In that respect, Nadal says that �he would love� to play in front of the public there.
