The Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal debuts this Thursday in the Rome tournamentfifth Masters 1000 of the season, with the confidence of being able to continue his physical preparation after the good news from Madrid and also grow in his game in the last test before Paris.
Nadal continues his path and, more than ever, does not look beyond the next match. However, in every press conference since he returned to action in 2024 in Brisbane, the 22-time champion is asked about Roland Garros. The king of the land is getting closer to being competitive at the French Open, but there are still two weeks where anything can happen.
The one from Manacor premieres at the Foro Italico against the Belgian Zizou Bergs, 24 years old, an opponent he has never faced. Nadal, ten-time champion in Rome, achieved a good tune-up in Madrid last week with good training and four matches under his belt, something that he had not experienced in almost two years.
The former world number one returned this season after a blank 2023 and, with the injury during his Australian return that dragged on, he gave up tournaments until Barcelona. Later, in the capital he went one step further, despite losing clearly against the Czech Jiri Lehecka in the round of 16, and his body seems to respond to him.
