Rafael Nadal performed this Tuesday on the clay of Rome including Greek Stefanos Tsitsipaswhere he maintains a good relationship, waiting to meet his rival in the first round of the Italian tournament, which will come from the classification.
Waiting to know the name of his first opponent, but already knowing the name of the hypothetical rival in the second round, the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, Nadal took advantage of the fact that in the morning he was allowed time to train with Tsitsipas, number 8 in the ranking. The rain forced the matches to be interrupted for a while.
The 10-time champion at the Foro Italico, more than anyone else, jumped on court 3 of the sports venue and rehearsed intensely from the back of the court and his serve under the watchful eyes of hundreds of followers who don’t want to miss the chance to see the Manacor native.
Nadal will debut this Thursday in his final participation in one of his favorite tournaments, the final test before the big challenge of Roland Garros.
