Rafael Nadal has a date for his third round at the Madrid Open with Pedro Cachin, an opponent easier than the one he had to beat yesterday, Alex de Minaur. The five-time champion of the Caja Magica will start the match
with much more confidence in the hope of being able to continue his race towards the title, which would totally change the situation for what remains of the clay court season, and which even opens the crazy dream of seeing him lift his 15th and final title at Roland Garros.
New this season: The presence of Rafa’s son
This season is unique in many ways since it is the last of the king of clay and also because his son is witnessing his last moments on the courts as a professional although given his young age he will not remember all of it, but his presence is very important for the father: ” Having a son and coming home to him and acting as a father is a completely new experience, the feeling it gives is different from anything else I have ever known, that he can see
me for the little that I have left to play will remain forever etched in my memory, even if he has no idea what is happening (laughs).
