Casper Ruud has not forgotten his lost final of last year against Rafael Nadal. The Norwegian, in difficulty since the start of the season, was questioned alongside Dominic Thiem by our colleagues fromEurosportabout Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard, who will break out of the top 10 for the first time since 2005 at the end of the week, should be back for the clay-court season. For the 4th player in the world, you always have to be wary of the Mallorcan, “largely capable of winning a 23rd Grand Slam tournament” To Paris.
Rafael Nadal, currently at Manacor, is preparing on earth!
“If Rafa is in good shape, he will be the man to beat at Roland-Garros”
“I think that Dominic (Thiem) will agree with me, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rafa Nadal returned to his best level at Roland Garros. Besides, he does everything to be on top of the clay court season (note: Rafael Nadal is already training on clay, a few days after recovering from his injury)”. It does not matter if he loses quickly to Montecarlo, Madrid or Rome. The only thing to which Rafa must think is to be healthy and ready just before Roland Garros. “If Rafa is in good shape, he will be the man to beat at Roland-Garros, considering he has won the tournament 14 times, which is crazy. This is probably a record for eternity. It’s almost impossible to beat him there. And it would be nice to see one last duel against Novak Djokovic.” confirmed Thiem.
