Rafael Nadal starts off in the best possible way at the Barcelona ATP tournament. The Spaniard returns to play after a long break and easily defeats the Italian Flavio Cobolli in two sets (6-2, 6-3). It was a match fully under control for the tennis champion, who shows he is in good shape.
He might not be at 100% fitness, but in the first round of the ATP 500 in Barcelona, he already sends very good signals in terms of physical condition and shot-making. Many winners, a decent serve, and good court coverage. On clay, his favorite surface, he never struggles against the Italian player and wins with great ease in one hour and 25 minutes. Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 17, he will face Australian Alex De Minaur in the second round.
