Rafa Nadal continues unstoppable in this edition of the Masters 1,000 of Indian Wells 2022 . The Balearic tennis player beat Reilly Opelka in the round of 16 of the tournament and now he will have to face the wayward, and always controversial, Nick Kyrgios . The Australian will be the new obstacle that the best tennis player in history will encounter to stand in the semifinals of this Californian tournament that he has already won three times.
The Balearic tennis player, the only one in history to reach 21 Grand Slams , started this Masters 1,000 in Indian Wells 2022 facing a local tennis player like Sebastian Korda. Despite being born on the opposite coast, the American played at home and Rafa Nadal signed an epic match coming back from 2-5 in the last set until he achieved victory in a suffered tie break with which he confirmed that great year 2022 that he is having .
In the next round Daniel Evans was Rafa Nadal ‘s rival and the man from Manacori did not fail. He had a more comfortable victory against the Briton by beating him in two sets, just like he did with the giant Reilly Opelka , whom he won in two sets, but both in tie breaks . Two victories that are glory for the Spanish tennis player, since with Medvedev eliminated from the tournament, advancing in the Masters 1,000 of Indian Wells 2022 will be worth it to cut points and thus get closer to number one in the ATP ranking.
Of course, to continue advancing now he has to face a Nick Kyrgios who always sows controversy and who never leaves anyone indifferent in the world of tennis. His unsportsmanlike techniques, his continuous criticism and his bad manners will have to be measured against his antithesis. Rafa Nadal , criticized on many occasions by the Australian, has to overcome his nemesis to be in the semifinals of the Masters 1,000 of Indian Wells 2022.
