Rafael Nadal was to be back in action in Melbourne, where they’ve opened up John Cain Arena for the first time this week.

But he ended up on Show Court 3 practicing his serve return after Tallon Griekspoor pulled out with a foot injury.

Yesterday, it was Margaret Court Arena.

With some more rain Thursday it was helpful to be able to get a bunch of matches in.
