For a brief spell at the Foro Italico, Rafael Nadal really did resemble a weary 37-year-old player nearing retirement. Struggling to produce pace off both sides with his groundstrokes, committing an uncharacteristically high number of unforced errors and unable to stay in rallies, Nadal dropped the first set of his first-round match at the Italian Open against Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs on Friday.
Rafael Nadal bounces back from fall to win rally. Then the fist-pumping, unbeatable-on-clay, 22-time grand slam champion version of Nadal emerged and the Spaniard rallied for a 4-6 6-3 6-4 victory before an adoring crowd in what will likely be his final tournament at the famed Roman venue. Nadal was playing only his 10th match this year after missing nearly all of 2023 with a hip injury that required surgery.
