"Merry Christmas - the final strength test in preparation!" Verdasco posted on Instagram.
Dusan Lajovic promptly reacted with humor and asked: "My car is causing problems, can you come by on Thursday around lunchtime?"
The 36-year-old Verdasco is currently ranked 49th in the ATP ranking. It reached its highest position so far in 2009 when it ranked seventh. So far, Verdasco has won seven ATP titles, the last one in Bucharest in 2016.
Last year he reached the quarter-finals at the ATP Masters in Rome, and in Wimbledon he also managed his sixth match win after a 0-2 set deficit against Kyle Edmund. In 2019, he already booked his 16th season in a row with 20 or more match wins. He is on par with Rafael Nadal and only behind Roger Federer, who has achieved this brand for 20 years in a row.
Verdasco's 2020 season begins at the 250cc tournament in Doha, which takes place parallel to the ATP Cup. Before the Australian Open, Verdasco called for Adelaide.
