Nadal returns to action in Washington

Rafa Nadal will take the racket again to play the Citi Open of Washington DC that is celebrated from August 2 to 8, with the aim of preparing the US Open. The Spaniard will debut for the first time in his career in the ATP 500 tournament at dawn from Wednesday 4 to Thursday 5 of August at 01:00 (Spanish time).

The Spanish tennis player had not played since June 11 when he lost the semi-final at Roland Garros against number one, Novak Djokovic. Days later, he announced that he would not participate in Wimbledon (June 28-July 11) or in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (July 24-30) to prevent “any type of excesses” in his body that “could prevent further fighting in the medium and long term for the titles,” he explained.

Nadal already has his next goal in mind, which will be the US Open (August 30-September 12), in which he will seek his 21st Grand Slam to overcome the Swiss Roger Federer.

Alcaraz, in the Cincinnati preview

The Cincinnati Masters 1,000 (August 15-22) will feature some Spanish tennis players such as Carlos Alcaraz, which could meet again with Nadal as happened in the Masters 1000 in Madrid, and Jaume Munar. In the female qualy is Sara sorribes, which fell in the Games last Tuesday, July 27, against Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 6-3.
