Rafa will be seeking revenge for his loss to the Greek in this year’s Australian Open quarter-finals, when Tsitsipas became only the second player to defeat Rafa from two sets down at a Grand Slam.
Our champ has won all 11 finals he has reached in Barcelona. He dominated the tournament in his home country from 2005-09, 2011-13, and 2016-18. He lost in the 2019 semifinals to eventual champion Dominic Thiem. Last year the event was not held because of the coronavirus pandemic.
GOOD LUCK AND VAMOS RAFA!
Stefanos… did I get it right yet? Three strikes and I’m out!
