Conde de Godó Trophy 2024
Rafa Nadal manages to complete a great climb in the ATP ranking with his first victory in the Conde de Godó Trophy 2024
Start with victory in the Count of Godó Trophyafter more than three months away from the tennis courts, was something objectively important for Rafael Nadal, as well as – even more so – looking competitive and physically fit again. However, among the good news we must highlight one more, possibly the least relevant but the most curious and that is that beating Flavio Cobolli and access the second round in Barcelona reports to Nadal a meteoric rise in it ranking ATPneither more nor less than 134 positions.
After not being able to add everything 2023 –except for a match at the Australian Open– and remain in dry dock for much of 2024 so far, Rafael Nadal is sunk in the ranking ATP. Such is the depth, that the fact that the Spanish champion would be much, much higher in the standings does not even allow for debate if it were not for the injuries that have tied him up for the last year and a half.
This fact placed Nadalbefore the start of Count of Godó Trophy 2024, in position 644 del ranking ATP, where it will remain until next Monday, the weekly table update day. So, Rafael will come out, at least, around the position 510a place that still does not come close to his talent, but that represents a climb of 134 positions with only one victory in a category tournament ATP 500.
For winning in the first round of the god, Nadal adds up to a meager loot, 25 ATP points, which is however considered an outstanding award for the players currently surrounding him in the rankings. Rafa is framed next to regular tennis players of the ITF circuitwhom he will say goodbye to ‘visit’ those from a higher step, at the beginning of a climb in the ranking that will continue as he can have some continuity in the circuit.
Nadal plays 25 points against De Minaur
To achieve a new victory, in the second round of the godante Alex de MiñaurNadal summarizes another 25 points in his pocket, which could bring him another important climb in the classification. At this time, they are 50 official pointsthose corresponding to the quarterfinals in Brisbaneplus the 25 from the first round against Cobolli –even virtual– those that have Rafael Nadal facing the ranking. Each game that passes with victory will mean climbing higher and higher in a table that hopes to see him, sooner rather than later, among the top 100. It would be the best sign about her condition.
With an entire top-11 of the ATP ranking in front of him, Nadal You won’t have an easy time defeating From Miñaur, but the first big test is already a reality and, no matter what happens, as long as the physicist is on your side, the conclusions that can be drawn will be positive and/or constructive. If he wins, Rafa would earn the chance to continue dreaming in the godat the same time that more challenges may appear in a tournament that, if he managed to win, would bring him 500 pointstherefore leaving him with a maximum potential of 550, at the height of the Top-115.
