Rafael Nadal triumphed over Swedish wildcard Leo Borg with a score of 6-3, 6-4, advancing to the second round of the Nordea Open in Båstad on Tuesday.
For me, it has been a huge honour to play against the son of one of the biggest legends in the history of our sport. I think he played quite well, he has a great future in front. I wish him all the very best.
Playing in front of a full crowd means a lot to me. It gives me energy to keep practising every day. Even in the tougher moments, I have been able to keep going with the help of the team, but of course the fans have a huge impact on that. They give me amazing energy.

Rafa is set to face Cameron Norrie, in the next round. Our champ has won four of their five previous encounters, but the Brit claimed victory in their most recent meeting at the 2023 United Cup.

Wonderful result, Rafa! Still got to watch the replay though. Keep on keeping on….
I missed the last few games too because of the lost connection. And Gill Gross was doing the commentary on Tennis Channel!¡
I was not at all happy with the condition of the court with all of the rain. Rafa fell once and I thought he was very tentative moving around the court for fear of injury.
I read about Rafa falling down during the match. Thankfully he recovered and won the match. Did anyone see how it happened and how bad or harmless the fall looked?
Great to see you back on court-congrats on the win👏👍🫶🎾🥰
Please can someone tell me how to watch online?
Bummer! I didn’t get to watch the end of their match due to technical difficulties. Congrats to Rafa for the victory! 👏
