MADRID, April 18 — Rafael Nadal returned to training today following a four-week rib injury layoff, with just over a month to go before the French Open in Roland Garros.
Nadal picked up the injury in his loss to American Taylor Fritz in the Indian Wells final on March 22, announcing at the time he expected to be out for between four and six weeks.

Nadal beat Daniil Medvedev in an epic final in Melbourne after Novak Djokovic was deported from Australia over his Covid vaccination status.
