The activity in the three practice courts situated in the Pabellón de Cristal will increase starting from tomorrow, the day before the Masters Series Madrid qualy starts. The biggest attraction will be the presence of Rafa Nadal, that will train from 5 to 7 in the afternoon. Guillermo Coria will again try hard in a double session, the first one with Younes El Aynaoui and the second one with his countrymate Juan Ignacio Chela.

Verdasco will also train twice tomorrow, at 12 o’clock and at 16 o’clock. In the first session his courtmate will be Nicolás Almagro, who will play on Saturday his first qualification match.
