Following his doubles victory with Casper Ruud on Monday, Rafael Nadal returns to singles action this Tuesday afternoon on the clay courts of Bastad. The Spaniard may start his tournament against the 461st-ranked player in the world, invited by the organizers, but he won't be facing an unknown. Bjorn Borg's 21-year-old son, Leo Borg, will be on the other side of the net.
Cameron Norrie should then stand in the way of Nadal, who is in Sweden to regain his best possible sensations before heading back to Paris.
