RAfael Nadal has completed his second day of training at Rolad Garros today, waiting to know the day of his debut against Australian Alexei Popyrin, number 62 in the ranking at 21 years of age.
The 13 times champion of the ‘Grand Slam’ of the land exercised yesterday with Karen Khachanov and today he has done it with his compatriot Pablo Carreo. It also has a reserved track this Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
And it is that the time trial has begun towards the achievement of the fourteenth title in Paris, which would be the twenty-first ‘Grand Slam’.
Criticism for the tweet congratulating Villarreal on the title: “That society is tense and radicalized has been a fact for a long time. The problem is when things that are not important are written in newspapers and on digital platforms. In the end, the one who gives his opinion on the networks has no responsibility. He writes in the media if he has that responsibility. That he could have congratulated Mallorca on the networks for the promotion, well yes. I will know for the next time. I celebrated it and did not even think about writing anything because I barely connect to social networks , only sometimes on Instagram. I have not grown up with them. He will have seen all the games of Mallorca this year and of Villarreal three or four “.
Osaka’s resignation to speak to the media. “I respect his decision but we are athletes and we have to be ready to accept the questions and give an answer. Without the press and the media that write about tennis we would not have the same recognition and popularity. The media is something important to me.”
The statue at Roland Garros. “It is an incredible and almost unprecedented recognition. I am proud and satisfied that there is a statue of mine for the rest of the years in a place like Roland Garros and without being French. The work is spectacular and very well done, and more with this material”.
Debut with Alexei Popyrin. “He is young, has punches and energy. I have to be ready to give my best performance. I respect everyone from the beginning of my career.”
Federer, Nadal and Djokovic on the same side. “We are far from playing with each other. That we are in the same box I see it naturally because the logical thing is that young people are climbing in the ranking. To me, to this day, it worries me little. I have a sufficiently demanding team to so as not to think of beyond. ”
Record of 21 ‘Grand Slam’ and 14 titles in Paris. “What I think is that an important tournament is coming for me. The other things are there and I am lucky to be in that situation. I think I arrived well and then we have to show it on the court.”
