Nadal, free way to the semifinals of Roland Garros

Rafa Nadal is already in Paris, where in the next two weeks he will fight to win his fourteenth Roland Garros. The Spaniard has fallen through the same part of the table as Novak Djokovic, so he would meet number one in a hypothetical semi-final. For the Spaniard, this is one of the most important editions in his career and after the victory in Rome the feelings are positive, it is not that he had an easy draw, but overcoming the pitfall of Rome with an outstanding mark, there are good feelings in the possibility to win a new title in the French Grand Slam. Rafa Nadal has already made contact with the Roland Garros facilities, where a large steel statue dedicated to the great champion in Paris has been on display since Thursday. The Spaniard arrives at number 3 in the ranking so he could meet Djokovic in the semis instead of in the final and the draw has resulted in this. Nadal has already trained on the Philippe Chatrier track, on which he has been champion in 13 times. Carlos Moyá’s pupil will make his debut against Australian Alexei Popyrin, whom he already had the opportunity to measure at the Mutua Madrid Open (6-3 and 6-3). Although players like Jannik Sinner or Andrey Rublev, his executioner in the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo, threaten along the way, the fact of being played in Paris and the best of five sets gives Nadal a greater chance of coming out on top.
