ATP – Rome > Nadal injured in the foot falls cruelly against Shapovalov – We Love Tennis – We Love Tennis!

6–1, 5–7, 2–2 the battle rages on and Rafael Nadal, on a losing streak, clearly begins to show signs of pain over his foot which he has occasionally suffered from since the start of his career. He then cashes a white game and goes to his bench, limping slightly. On the next game, while he was a little overwhelmed, he seemed to no longer be able to defend his chances. Denis Shapovalov, who is gaining momentum in the match, continues his momentum from the second set and takes off (4-2). Without being a nightmare, the end of the match is still very difficult for Rafa who cannot hide his disappointment and his pain with a few grimaces of annoyance. It’s going to be really hard to prepare for Roland-Garros under these conditions for someone who has lifted the Mousquetaires Cup 13 times. Shapovalov, when to him, had the merit of hanging on after being non-existent in the first set. Final score: 1–6, 7–5, 6–2, after 2h40 of play. For a place in the semi‐finals, the Canadian will face the Norwegian Casper Ruud. Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 10:37 PM
