ATP Tour: Nadal Makes Winning Return Against Borg In Bastad
Infosys ATP Stats: A day after winning his men's doubles first-round match partnering Casper Ruud here, former World No.1 Rafael Nadal made a winning return to the singles category too at the Nordea Open here on Tuesday. Nadal, winner of 22 Grand Slams including a record 14 French Open titles, got the better of Leo Borg, the 21-year-old son of former World No. 1 Bjorn Borg,
The Spaniard showed some signs of rust in his first match since the French Open 2024 but rode on one break of serve in each to beat Borg 6-3, 6-4 in a first-round encounter here.
The 38-year-old Nadal committed uncharacteristic errors in the opening stages, perhaps a sign of having not played an ATP Tour match since falling to Alexander Zverev in the first round at Roland Garros on May 27. The lefty raised his level as the match wore on, finding success in wet, heavy conditions by pinning Borg in his backhand corner and forcing the Swede to hit above his shoulder.
