Nadal made his return on Thursday after his elimination at this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris where he reached the doubles quarter-finals alongside Alcaraz. In singles, he had to lose in the second round against Djokovic. The Spaniard and winner of 22 Grand Slam titles announced earlier this month that he would end his career at the end of next month, after the Davis Cup final in Malaga.
Djokovic and Nadal only entered the tournament in the semifinals of the Six Kings Slam. Sinner beat the Russian Daniil Medvedev (ATP 5) in the quarter-finals on Wednesday, while Alcaraz eliminated the Dane Holger Rune (ATP 14).
