Rafael Nadal seems to be back in fitness training.
The Spaniard was seen in video footage that was apparently filmed by a fan and shared on social media running on a treadmill, watched by his uncle and long-time coach Toni, who is wearing a Rafa Nadal Academy shirt.

It is not clear when the footage was taken. Nadal himself has not made any comment about it or his immediate plans. Tennis Majors have asked his team for clarification.
Nadal has not played on tour since January, and underwent hip surgery in June. One of the surgery team said at the time that after the immediate recovery from the operation, the next step would be swimming and stationary bike work.
