Engaged this April 17 against Alex de Minaur in the second round of the Barcelona tournament, the Spaniard only lasted one set before losing severely 7-5 6-1.
Rafael Nadal, down to 644th in the world and who made his return this week after more than three months of absence, was eliminated on Wednesday in the 2nd round of the Barcelona tournament by the Australian Alex De Minaur (11th), winner 7-5 , 6-1 in their duel.
The 37-year-old Spaniard, with 22 Grand Slam titles, held off his opponent for a set, before giving up, without however showing any physical discomfort. Plagued by repeated pain, he had not played on the ATP circuit before this week since suffering a hip injury in Brisbane at the beginning of January.
Already the author of numerous mistakes in the first round against Cobolli, the Spaniard will not have been more precise today. With a total of 42 unforced errors, the Manacor bull still has room for improvement in his technique.
