Rafael Nadal is back to be the world no.1 this week, and he celebrates the event with a convincing performance over Philipp Kohlschreiber in the Davis Cup tie against German in Valencia. Also, with this win, the Spanish sensation makes history after recording his 23rd consecutive victory (singles and doubles) in the Davis Cup. The last and only time that Nadal lost a Davis Cup match was against Italy (doubles) back in 2005.
After this win (6-2 6-2 6-3) Rafa levels the scoreline as previously Sascha Zverev defeated David Ferrer 6-4 6-2 -6-2.
It’s a great feeling. NADAL
This is also the first victory for Rafa since January. The King of Clay commented
“It’s a great feeling. To play always in the bull stadium is unique—always with very positive feelings. I’m very happy to be back and very happy to be back in front of my crowd and of course the victory that ties the competition.
Happy to be back on court. Stright sets, solid match after a while, after being not on court is a great feeling being in front of my crowd, so I’m very happy.”
Rafa is now expected to lock horns with Sascha Zverev on Sunday, and that will be an extremely important test.
