The world No. 1 ranked Rafael Nadal seemed practicing with Gilles Simon of France at the Court Suzanne Lenglen on Thursday.

Spaniard is seeking for the sixth title at the Roland Garros, where both the players Nadal and Simon have worked hard with their coaches present at Court Suzanne Lenglen in Paris. As the players exchanged and rallied for a quite long time on the court.

Nadal and Simon’s practice session attracted a larger audience at the Court Suzanne Lenglen than most of the qualifying matches attracted. Nadal looked strong and positive in his session, where Frenchman appeared Nadal’s ball heavy at some times.

The 23-year-old Nadal will be top seed in the French Open draw, when it comes out. Nadal will get tough fight against Djokovic for the Roland Garros title. Serbian has unbeaten in 37-0 matches in this season, where he is also looking hot favorite to bag the title.

Several other players were active on their practice sessions, where Maria Sharapova has worked out her coach at Court Suzanne Lenglen. The most of the tournaments are still active in Brussels, Nice and other parts of the Europe and many of the top players have not arrived yet in Paris.
