Rafael Nadal's level of play in the first set was so high that it was expected to be a quiet victory.
In the end, it was nothing of the sort. After a first set in which he went it alone (6-1), the Spaniard suffered the full force of the comeback of an overexcited Hungarian, increasingly powerful and efficient. Nadal quickly fell behind (3-0), but didn't let up, even winning back his break point.
Unfortunately for him, Fucsovics didn't give up and finally took advantage of a "Rafa" losing his precision and concentration to snatch a final set.
If he is to challenge Djokovic in the 2nd round, the Majorcan will have to raise his game again. Stay tuned!
