It certainly will be interesting to see how he competes, also Sinner who has taken a mini
break and should be fresh. He is top seed!
Nadal is playing tomorrow. He has also mentioned that this is his last Madrid tournament
and if he doesnt think he is competitive he wont play at Paris!
Yeah, the 16 yo guy who is going to play Rafa, I know him a bit. Not personally ofc but I have a certain connection to junior tennis as I mentioned before. So that Blanch guy is really good and is definitely capable of defeating Rafa question is if he's mentally ready for this. That is going to be an exciting match.
No is the answer serveria! he was like a "deer caught in the headlights", the prospect
of facing off against a living legend of the game was too much. There were some nice
rallies and great shot making but he just made too many mistakes, and you cant do that
against the top guys, no doubt we will hear more of him!
Funny how the draw works out sometimes, Nadal faces de Minaur next, a replay of their
meeting at Barcelona 2 weeks ago!
Another youngster of the game Fonseca won today in 3 sets against Michelsen and
plays Norris next, bit of a chance there for him to progress.
