Nadal, facing his most difficult start at Roland Garros
Good afternoon. Rafael Nadal, 14-time champion at Roland Garros, faces world number 4, Alexander Zverev, this afternoon in the first round of the tournament. It is the most difficult start for the Spaniard in the most important tournament of his career. The draw placed this duel – which has generated enormous expectation – in the first step of Roland Garros given that Nadal, who almost could not compete last year, arrives in a very low position in the ranking (it is 275th in the world right now). Zverev is one of the favorites to lift the Musketeers Cup: not only because he has just won the Rome Masters 1000 and arrives in great form, but because he has been reaching the semifinals for three years in a row.
