Arriving in Paris on Thursday where he wasted no time in training, Rafael Nadal made an express return trip to Mallorca on Saturday to attend the wedding of his childhood friend and former doubles partner, Bartolome Salva-Vidal, better known as “Tomeu”.
After having ensured his role as best man, the man with 22 Grand Slam titles should return this Sunday to Bercy where he will be at a press conference.
Recipient of a bye in the first round, he will face Tommy Paul or Roberto Bautista Agut on Wednesday.
As a reminder, the Mallorcan has only played a double with Roger Federer in the Laver Cup since losing to Frances Tiafoe in the round of 16 of the US Open on September 5. He has never won the Paris Rolex Masters before.
