The Manacor tennis player has been off the court for two months recovering from an injury. Despite falling in the quarterfinals of the Principality tournament to Rublev, the clay king had a great performance at the 1,000 Masters. Now he faces another of his favorite tournaments with the illusion of lifting a new title.15: 55.If he overcame this second round against Illya Ivashka, Nadal would be measured in the round of 16 against the winner of the duel between Kei Nishikori, two-time Godó champion, and the Chilean Christian Garín, a match that is played this afternoon on the Real Club’s Manolo Santana court. of Tennis of Barcelona. We remember that only in the final could he meet Stefanos Tsitsipas or Andrey Rublev, precisely his executioners this season, and that they are in the lower part of the table. 15:50. There is very little left to see Rafa Nadal live at the Conde de Godó. Nadal has conquered the tournament 11 times (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018) and aspires to do so for the 12th time.

As the Rafa Nadal – Ilya Ivashka start time at Godó approaches, we take the opportunity to remember what happened on the day this morning. Today also made their debuts Andrey Rublev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, finalist and Monte Carlo champion, respectively. The Russian beat Italian Gaio (6-4 and 6-3), while the Greek beat Spanish Jaume Munar (6-0 and 6-2), both on center court. Rafa Nadal and Ilya Ivashka will appear in it at 4:00 p.m. 15:30.

In addition, the Belarusian knows well this Real Club de Tenis de Barcelona where Godó is played, since he has trained on several occasions at its facilities. 15:25.Ilya Ivashka, Rafa Nadal’s first rival in Barcelona, has just overcome the qualifying phase at Godó and the first round last Monday against the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor 6-3 6-1. The Belarusian occupies the 111th position in the ATP ranking, with his highest position being No. 80, a position he reached two years ago.15: 20. Rafa Nadal makes his debut against Ilya Ivaskha, a rival who has never been measured before. It is a somewhat uncomfortable circumstance, especially in a first match in a tournament, but one that is not new to him. “I will play against an opponent who has just won several games and all I can do is continue with my process. I come from not playing a lot and it is difficult to return to competition. Monte Carlo was an important test. I think there were positive things in the tournament. The negative was that I lost without being able to get my best rival and I take this as another opportunity ”, added Nadal at a press conference. 15:10. Before debuting in the Conde de Godó trophy, Rafa Nadal spoke about his feelings. “Arrived safely. Then the track and the competition will dictate where I really am. Happy to be in Barcelona after a year of absence and wanting to play in Spain once more », said the Balearic, who in a few minutes will meet again with the Spanish public in what was his club as a child. 15:00 hours: Good afternoon!
