Wimbledon: Rafael Nadal wins first grass-court match for three years

By: Jake Yan

Rafa Nadel is one of the world’s best tennis players, but he has only won two Wimbledon out of 22 Grand Slam titles so far.

This year, he won Wimbledon by defeating the Swiss player Stan Wawrinka 6-2 6-3 in Switzerland. It’s been three years since Nadal played for Wimbledon due to a leg injury.

Nadal overcame fear in the opening round of Wimbledon on Tuesday, dropping the third set, collapsing in the fourth set, and then fighting back, eventually defeating Argentina’s Francisco Serundro. 2008 and 2010 Wimbledon champion Nadal arrived at the tournament with a question mark on his two-week durability after playing the entire French Open with a surprised left foot in trouble. Since then, he has been receiving high-frequency stimulation, a treatment aimed at relieving nerve pain in his legs. “Every day is a test. I’m at the beginning of the tournament and everyone knows the difficult situations I’ve experienced,” Rafa said. “But the most important thing for me is to play in Wimbledon in 2022 and win the first match” “I’m so old that I can’t beat many watches now,” Rafa said.
