Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger-Aliassime will face off in the second round in Madrid.

Rafael Nadal

The World No.2 Nadal is not playing his best tennis at the moment. Nadal is coming off semifinal losses in Barcelona to Dominic Thiem 6-4 6-4 and in Monte Carlo against Fabio Fognini 6-4 6-2, which Nadal termed as his ‘worst loss in 14 years’.

Felix Auger-Aliassime

Auger-Aliassime is a much-improved player and if he takes his game to the next level, then the tournament will surely see some close matches. The young Canadian beat his dear friend Denis Shapovalov 6-2 7-6(7) in the 1st round. The 30th ranked young Canadian played some calibrated groundstrokes which were a treat to watch.

The 18-year old Canadian has a 21-10 win-loss

record in 2019 with 9-5 on clay.

H2H Nadal vs. Auger-Aliassime

Madrid Open has just 56 players in the tournament, that is the reason it has some very competitive early matches like one between Auger-Aliassime and Shapovalov. This one also promises to be a great tussle.

There is no head to head matches between Nadal and Auger-Aliassime.
