Rafael Nadal has won again this season where he knows no defeat. To the successful tour of the underworld, from which he returned with the titles of the Melbourne Open 250 and the Australian Open, he has joined the Acapulco 500 tournament.
The best tennis player this season, with enough points (2,750) to ensure his presence in the Turn Masters Cup (November 13 to 20), He has given a good account of Cameron Norrie by 6-4 and 6-4.
Nadal is faithful to the routines that work for him. That is why he warmed up again with his friend David Ferrer, whom he has equaled in the ranking of most titles in the tournament with four.
Nadal, camps and Acapulco
Norrie knew of the customs of the Spanish and that is why she chose to draw by winning the draw. It was of little use to the Briton, who conceded the first ‘break’ in the fifth game.
Rafa, without the need to play at yesterday’s level with Daniil Medvedev or the first round with Tommy Paul, took the lead on the scoreboard. The match was relatively calm and the stands intervened less than in previous days.
Mexican fans see Nadal’s victory so clearly that some decided not to attend despite having a ticket.

The fans in the gear chair They continued at full volume to mitigate the humidity of the coastal town of the state of Guerrero.
Nadal came out like a cyclone from the locker room in the continuation. He took the service from his adversary. If Cameron has gotten where he has gotten, it is because he is a fighter. He went 0-40 in the second game and matched the result at the fourth attempt.
The Spanish champion had made five consecutive unforced errors with his forehand. To the one who refined the toe again, the final is over. And it was in the fifth round with the third ‘break’. He would arrive a fourth before signing the sentence, which would arrive a little later for Nadal’s second lost service.
Another double for the ‘Armada’
This Sunday there may be another double for Spanish men’s tennis on consecutive weekends. If seven days ago it was Roberto Bautista (Doha) and Carlos Alcaraz (Ro), this time Nadal could be joined by Pedro Martínez in Santiago de Chile.
