Nadal invited Argentinian player Tomas Martin Etcheverry, the current No. 31 in the ATP rankings, and the players teamed up for an intense training block in Greece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The place we\u2019re practising in is crazy... and Nadal is going at it, I\u2019d say he\u2019s playing very well,\u201d the Argentine told ATPTour.com. What was it like for the La Plata native to spend a few days with the 92-time tour-level titlist? \u201cI\u2019ve had the chance to ask him things, ask for advice, and he was always very humble, helping, making progress, and he had a lot of time for everyone,\"said Etcheverry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"These days have been a dream for me, a really amazing experience, above all spending time with Rafa, a player I\u2019ve been watching since I started to play tennis, one of the best in history, so it was crazy. It was a privilege and an honour,\" added Etcheverry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nadal will be in action next week at the Nordea Open. It will mark the Spaniard\u2019s first appearance at the ATP 250 since he won the event in 2005.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
