The winner of this round will face Canadian Denis Shapovalov in the round of 16.The balance between the two is clearly in favor of Nadal, with seven wins in eight matches on the ATP circuit. In Rome they met in 2015 with victory for the Spanish by a double 6-4.His rival in this first round for him, the round of 32, will be the American John Isner, 37 years old and number 27 in the ATP ranking. A tennis player, therefore, more veteran than the Spanish.Nadal debuts in this Masters 1000 with two purposes: the first, to prepare Roland Garros with the desire to win it again. The second, to revalidate the title achieved on this same stage in 2021.After the match played between Sebastian Baez and Alexander Zverev with victory for the German, it is finally Rafa Nadal’s turn to debut in Rome. It is the first appearance of the manacorí since his defeat against Alcaraz last Thursday in Madrid.
