Mexico, Oct 10 (EFE) .- Alejandro Irarragorri, president of Orlegi Sports, praised this Monday the life story of the Spanish Rafael Nadal, the top winner of Grand Slam tournaments in world tennis, who will play in Mexico in December against the Norwegian Casper Rudd .
“Rafa’s life story is fantastic, what he has achieved on and off the pitch is admirable; it is an honor to have two of the 10 best in the world,” said Irarragori, who organizes the presence of the Spanish tennis player in Mexico.
At a press conference, the start of ticket sales for the duel on December 1 between Nadal and Ruud was announced, which will be the fifth of a tour of Latin America by the two players, with stops in Buenos Aires, Bogotá , Quito, Belo Horizonte and Mexico City.
Although he has won four titles at the Acapulco Open, Rafa will play for the first time in the Mexican capital, at 2,240 meters above sea level and there is interest in seeing him against Rudd, with whom he played the Roland Garros final in May this year. .
The match, on a hard court, will have a doubles match in which the Mexicans Renata Zarazúa and Santiago González will face the duo of the Canadian Leylah Fernández with the American Jack Sock.
Nadal and Rudd will play three years after the Swiss Roger Federer and the German Alexander Zverev played in the Plaza de Toros México before 42,517 fans, which was at the time the attendance record for a tennis match.
The meeting will take place at the end of a successful season for Nadal, in which he won the Australian Open and Roland Garros to become the first player with 22 Grand Slam tournaments, in addition to rising to number two in the ranking, ratified this Monday, behind his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz and ahead of Ruud.
Nadal and Rudd’s tour of Latin America was presented just over a week ago by the players with a nice video, in which the Norwegian asked the Spaniard for a rematch of the Roland Garros final and Nadal proposed to play five games in Latin America.
