Published Feb 24, 2020

Venus Williams hit the courts in Acapulco for a practice session, and came away with a keepsake. The 39-year-old is excited to start her Mexico campaign but she seemed even more thrilled to snap a photo with Rafael Nadal.

Even though the two are friends, it appeared Venus was more of a Nadal fan on Sunday. Venus smiled for photos while Nadal talked to coach Carlos Moya and checked his strings in the background.

"Thanks for the photos," said Venus with a wink. The Spaniard seems to always mean business when he steps on the court, as not even Venus' photography detoured his focus.

The pair of Slam champions are set to open in Acapulco on Tuesday. Venus will face world No. 125 Kaja Juvan while Nadal will open against fellow Spaniard Pablo Andujar.
