The last challenge of Rafael Nadal’s career. In Malaga, the Spaniard is playing his last career tournament, during the final phase of the Davis Cup, a competition that he has already won four times (2004, 2009, 2011 and 2019).
An opponent who does well for Nadal
This Tuesday, November 19, for the first match of the quarter-final between Spain and the Netherlands, coach David Ferrer chose to trust the bull of Manacor to best launch the Roja. The Majorcan is opposed, from 5 p.m., to the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp (80th in the world).
The two men are opposed for the third time, after two matches played in the Grand Slam: it was in 2022, and the Spaniard had won each time, without conceding a single set, in the third round of Roland-Garros ( 6-3, 6-2, 6-4) then during the round of 16 at Wimbledon straight away (6-4, 6-2, 7-6 [6]).
