Rafa Nadal returns to Rome
Rafa Nadal returns to competition this week at the ATP Masters 1000 in Rome, a very special tournament in his sporting career.
Rafa Nadal returns to competition this week at the ATP Masters 1000 in Rome , a very special tournament in his career. It will also mark his return to the court after the break that has kept him away from competition since Sunday, March 1, when he won the final of the Acapulco tournament.
No one has won the trophy at the Foro Italico as many times as Rafa, and this year he starts as the defending champion, just as he did last year. On the hypothetical path to what could be his tenth crown in the Italian capital, he could face—based on ranking logic— Pablo Carreño, Milos Raonic in the third round, Diego Schwartzman in the quarterfinals, Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semifinals, and Novak Djokovic in the final.
Before Rafa begins his participation on the Italian clay, we review the best of his performance in 2019, where he achieved five victories against Jeremy Chardy (R32), Nikoloz Basilashvili (R16), Fernando Verdasco (CF), Tsitsipas (SF) and Djokovic (F) to achieve the ninth crown of his career in Rome.
