Tournament in Båstad
Nadal with convincing win against Norrie!
Tennis star Rafael Nadal has reached the quarter-finals of the clay court tournament in Båstad, Sweden!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The 22-time Grand Slam winner from Spain defeated Britain's Cameron Norrie 6:4, 6:4 on Thursday, overturning a 1:4 deficit in the second set. Nadal, who now meets Argentinian Mariano Navone, seems to be getting back into rhythm just in time for the Olympics. The 38-year-old had skipped Wimbledon to prepare for the Games in Paris.
"... that's something I need to improve!"
"I haven't played much so far, so matches and wins like today help," explained Nadal. "Being in rhythm the whole match and keeping the pressure on your opponent is something I need to improve because I haven't played enough."
At the Olympic Games, Nadal will return to the clay on which he won the French Open 14 times. In the doubles, he will play alongside Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz. The Olympic tennis tournament takes place from July 27 to August 4 at Roland Garros.
