Video - Nadal, highlights of his victory over Cobolli in Barcelona

Le 16/04/2024 à 17h42 par Guillaume Nonque

Rafael Nadal made a successful return to competition in Barcelona. More than 3 months after his last match on the ATP Tour, and almost 2 years after his last match on clay (the French Open final in 2022), he dominated Flavio Cobolli (6-2, 6-3) to reach the 2nd round on the crushed brick of the Catalan city.

Even if everything was not perfect, particularly his serve, the Spaniard delivered a convincing performance, as you can see (video below).
