They’re milkmaid’s accounts, but they’re getting closer to being mathematical. With more or less difficulties, the three tenors of the ATP Tour reached the second round, positioning themselves to fight the great final battle.
The 59th confrontation between Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic It will be a reality if today, Sunday, they overthrow their previous obstacles. Affordable but with its particular problems.
Rafa Nadal, 35 years old and world number 5, has met one of the emerging youngsters who has achieved a higher level of maturity since Balearic’s uncle, as well as his academy’s sports director, joined his technical team.
Auger-Aliassime, 21 years old and nº 9, signed the spring of 2021 to Tony Nadal to join his permanent coach, the French Frederic Fontang. Since then, his first ATP title after beating the previous eight finals, and the steady rise to the Grand Slam: quarters at Wimbledon, semifinals at the US Open, quarters in Australia and first win at Roland Garros to reach the round of 16.
Tony Nadal This will be the great absentee in the middle box. The first point of his agreement with the American, who is based in Monte Carlo, was that he would not meddle in a duel against his nephew, which he followed live in battles where he did not match the time with his student, puts himself in the second row just behind Carlos Moya.
“It’s very simple. He’s my uncle, he doesn’t seem to want to beat me, but he’s professional, he’s with another player, I don’t know if he’s in the box or not, I don’t know. It doesn’t matter, it’s not a problem. I know how we feel, that he wants the best for me, but he’s with other players ”, the thirteen-time Roland Garros champion’s indifferent explanation.
“Neither Toni nor Frederic have all the answers to beat Rafa. It’s more up to me,” analyzed Auger-Aliassime, who is also unaware of the technical situation.
He was extremely loose on the clay, he played six tournaments, reached the quarterfinals, which he reached in Godó, Estoril, Madrid and Rome.
