Rafa Nadal is eager to return to action. The former world number 1 is back after almost a year out due to injury. There is enthusiasm but also caution and a lot of doubt. Can he please us again with his best game?
The answer soon came. From the first games, Nadal was seen as very focused and comfortable, so that’s it He gave us some ‘house brand’ points.
First, a crossed ‘doll’ after successfully getting to a Thiem drop-off.
The second, a backhand cross volley to close a very difficult point where Thiem took him to the limit.
And the third, a winning forehand after miraculously saving a point he was completely lost.
In other words, a demonstration the best Nadal is still there and it is only a matter of time before we see him again in its highest splendor.
