Rafael Nadal has practiced in Paris for the first time ahead of the French Open, with fans flocking to Court Philippe Chatrier to catch a glimpse of the Spanish legend. In almost unprecedented scenes, the tennis-hungry Parisian public — perhaps cognisant of the small chance that this could be Nadal's last visit to the French Open following his comments after the recent Italian Open — packed the stands to watch the 35-year-old hit with fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar.
