Rafael Nadal will play a second match in two days against an opponent of a completely different caliber.
Winning return for Rafael Nadal ! Tuesday April 16, the Spaniard finally returned to the tennis courts and clay courts. Facing the Italian Flavio Cobolli, the Majorcan delivered a fairly decent performance for his comeback by winning in two sets, 6-2 6-3 in a little less than 1h30 of play. been a great surprise these last four days I felt more or less good, I played against top players and, even though it was only training, I didn’t feel very good. far. It’s important to have won in two sets today. I played the game I had to play, I controlled what I could control. My level didn’t surprise me. -he explained at a press conference. This Wednesday, the task promises to be much more difficult since the Spaniard will face the Australian Alex de Minaur in the last rotation around 4 p.m./4:30 p.m.
