22-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one Rafael Nadal, 37, is a Spanish tennis player who talked about his fitness before the match with Czech Jiri Lehechka in the 1/8 finals of the Masters series in Madrid.
"Three weeks ago, I was inferior to all the boys in my academy. Now, I'm competing again with ATP tournament participants and winning matches. I will be surprised if I can beat Lehechka. "His shot is stronger than De Minaur's," Nadal said at the press conference.
It should be noted that in the 1/16 final, Nadal defeated Argentinean Pedro Cachin. 6:1, 6:7 (5:7), 6:3. The tournament's reigning champion is world number three Carlos Alcaraz from Spain.
