The clay court season begins, and the King of clay will be looking forward to finding his best form. Rafa will meet Aljaz Bedene in the second round, and could next face Dominic Thiem, then Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, Andy Murray in the semis and Novak Djokovic in the final.
These two players could face each other quite often in the near future: Alex Zverev beat his friend Andrey Rublev 6-1 6-3 in the battle of the new generation.

Novak Djokovic qualified for the Miami Open final by beating David Goffin 7-6 6-4. Here are a few pictures of Djokovic practicing earlier this week.
