Rafael Nadal takes top seeding in Acapulco, 12 months after being knocked out in the second round by Nick Kyrgios in a match which sparked angry exchanges between the two. "He is a super nice guy and we train a lot. I've played Roger, I've played Novak, I've played Andy. Usually I play a seeded player always here. The 36-year-old, now ranked outside the top 200, has also had to face Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov in Dubai.īefore the draw was made Saturday, Jaziri even said: "Hopefully this year the draw will be good for me. The Tunisian, who made the semi-finals in the UAE in 2018, lost to Djokovic in the second round two years earlier when the Serb won his fourth title at the event. At ATP Cincinaati he was eliminated in the first round against Coric.However, his opponent in the Dubai first round, Malek Jaziri, was left wishing the 32-year-old Serb had stayed away a little longer. At Wimbledon he had to retire before playing the semifinals. Despite his doubts, he again showed his grit to win his 14th Roland Garros. Before playing Roland Garros, he defended the crown at the Rome ATP, but the discomfort in the round of 16 against Shapovalov prevented him from advancing in the Italian tournament despite winning the first set 6-1. After playing at the Madrid Open at home and with good sensations, he looked for the title, but his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz left him out in the quarterfinal round. In the Miami ATP he lost in the final against Fritz, so he returns to compete more than a month after having to be on leave due to an injury. He also disputed the Acapulco ATP, held in Mexico, where he defeated Norrie in the final by a double 6-4 to win the title. The balance of this year is 35 wins and four defeats in this 2022 for Rafael Nadal has managed to win five titles this year, first the Melbourne ATP, then and the most heroic, the Australian Open, after a final that will be remembered after the comeback of the Spanish tennis player to Medvedev.
