The players have already taken to the court.
As is logical due to their wide age difference, they never play with each other. Nadal, currently ranked 261st, and Borg, 461st, will be looking to advance to the round of 16 of the Bastad tournament. The Spanish, with a view to the Paris Olympic Games. The Swede, eager to continue growing and climbing the ranks
In front, the Swede Leo Borg, son of the legendary Björn Borg, winner of 11 Grand Slams (5 Wimbledon and 6 Roland Garros). In his short career, the 21-year-old tennis player has mostly played in ‘challenger’ and ‘ITF’ tournaments. At the ATP levelplayed only 7 tournaments: 3 in Stockholm, 3 in Bastad and 1 in Marbella, with a balance 7 losses and only 1 win.
The manacorí returned to the slopes with his mind on Olympic Games. Playing Bastad again, both in singles and doubles, is exclusively to get to the Paris Games, as he said on Twitter (X) just a month ago: “The best thing for my body is not to change surfaces and continue playing on clay until then. “This is why I will miss playing Wimbledon this year,” he explained. “To prepare for the Olympic Games, I will play the Bastad tournament, Sweden. A tournament that I played at the beginning of my career and where I had a great time on and off the court. I hope to see you all there,” he concluded.
However, yesterday Monday, he returned to play an official match but in the form of double, with Norwegian Casper Ruud, won against the couple Guido Andreozzi – Miguel Ángel Reyes-Varela (6-1, 6-4). The Spaniard has not played a doubles match since December 31, 2023 at the ATP in Brisbane.
Nadal arrived after not playing any matches in the grass season. In fact, his last individual match was in Roland Garrosat the end of May, when they lost in the first round against the Alexander Zverev in straight sets (6-3, 7-6, 6-3)
¡Good afternoon! We will start the live matches of the round of 32 of the ATP 250 in Bastad in between Rafael Nadal and Leo Borg
