Dark Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 No fatigue or fatigue appeared at the premiere. Nor is the trace of an injury. He was a cool tennis player playing healthy after 52 days away from the official competition. On Wednesday, Rafael Nadal debuted in Paris-Bercy with a worked victory against Adrian Mannarino (7-5 and 6-4) to open his last part of the year, which should see him compete in the last Masters 1000 of the calendar, in the Copa de Teachers (from November 10 to 17) and in the Davis Cup final (from 18 to 24 of the same month). Is 2019 the year in which Nadal will celebrate one of the two great titles that are put into play on the European indoor track tour? Will the Mallorcan manage to raise the cup in Paris or London? Can you also help Spain win the Salad Bowl at the Magic Box in Madrid? The goal, of course, is to be ready to do all that: calendar planning and preparation have aimed exclusively at that goal. "I have been injured many times and I have not been able to play as many," Nadal recalled, which will be measured Thursday with Stan Wawrinka (7-6, 7-6 Marin Cilic) for the pass to the quarterfinals. "On some occasions I have not played well and in others my rivals have been better than me," continued the world number two. "The covered track is a surface where I have had less chance in the past, but I have been improving my game to give me options." Before an inspired tennis player, another solvent. Nadal resisted Mannarino's successful tennis by displaying the first signs of its adaptation to the surface. The Spaniard got well enough not to face a breaking ball all afternoon, he played with his knees well bent and his ass bent, which is how the technicians say he must compete under the roof, and launched for victory betting for the winners (finished with 19). It is clear that he has room for improvement, but the beginning is the expected starting point. 1
