Rafael Nadal is ready to answer the question put forward by the Madrid Open draw after making his way through the first round to book a tough rematch with Australian star Alex de Minaur. De Minaur claimed victory over the King of Clay at last week’s Barcelona Open and their latest meeting will come on Saturday at the Madrid Open. Nadal warmed up for the encounter with a ruthless 6-1 6-0 victory that dished out a brutal 64-minute lesson to 16-year-old American wildcard Darwin Blanch.
Playing here has always been a pleasure, the huge support is difficult to describe in words,” Nadal said. “It’s emotional feelings but at the same time I am a passionate person with a stable personality, just enjoying but just trying to be focused on what I need to be and then see how far I can go in terms of pushing my physical performance.
