Nadal makes successful comeback in Vina del Mar

Ole’!!!

Finally, we have Rafa back. It was about doubles, but after so many months of drought and so many posponed comebacks, seeing Rafa back on a tennis court was very refreshing.

The world no.5 had his opener with Monaco against the seeds no.2 Frantisek Cermak and Lukas Dlouhy. The match was a quick one especially after Rafa and Pico broke their opponents in the first set to lead 5-3. Then the match went to the “right direction” and the Rafa/Pico won it 6-3 6-2 after only 64 minutes.

The King of Clay will have his opener in singles on Wednesday against qualifier Federico Del Bonis, world 128.

We are looking forward to it!


Rafa’s warm up
