WATCH: Rafael Nadal admits he is ‘improving everyday’ as he shows off swimming skills
16-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal is on the right path to recovery, if his latest Instagram post is anything to go by.
The Spaniard posted a video of himself swimming in a pool in Manacor. “Improving everyday,” he captioned the image to his 4.5 million followers.
And his expression – a wink and a thumbs up post completing a lap – concurred.
This is not the first time that Nadal has shown his love for pool. After winning the Barcelona Open title a couple of years back, he jumped into water along with a few ball boys.
Nadal has been out of action since pulling out of his Australian Open quarter-final against Croatia’s Marin Cilic due to a right foot injury in January.
The 30-year-old, also known as the ‘King of Clay’, is expected to make his return in the clay swing.
