Ubitennis wants our readers to feel close to the action at the Madrid Open, even if they aren’t there. Every day we will be uploading exclusive images of players during their morning practice sessions.
One of the vital things about match day is the players’ performance during their practice session. Tuesday will see Juan Martin Del Potro play in Madrid for the first time since 2012. The Argentine appeared calm during his practice session, which lasted only 30 minutes. Throughout the session, he was focusing mainly on his forehand and overhead smashes.
French Open champion Stan Wawrinka trained on the court with American teenager Taylor Fritz. Whilst Fritz appeared frustrated with some of his shots, Wawrinka’s expression remained the same throughout the hour-long encounter as he focused on his performance.
As for tour showman Gael Monfils, he remained smiling and laughing throughout his workout. Whether he will be laughing after his encounter with Kevin Anderson remains to be seen.
