This Saturday took place the draw for the ATP 500 in Washington in which Rafael Nadal is the big star. If the Spaniard has almost captured all the attention, the picture remains interesting despite the Olympics.
We find in particular the young Félix Auger-Aliassime (seed n ° 2), Jannik Sinner (n ° 5), Alex de Minaur (n ° 3), Cameron Norrie (n ° 7) or the local Sebastian Korda (n ° ° 12).
Relatively spared by the draw, Rafa still inherited Nick Kyrgios in his part of the table, which he could only meet in the semi-finals. Dry out this week in Atlanta, the Australian is a real enigma but in case he wins in the first round against the American Mackenzie McDonald, he would be opposed to a certain Benoît Paire in the second, the French being exempt with his seeded status.
If this were the case, this duel of “bad boys” could even eclipse the great debut of the Spaniard in the American capital. It promises !
