The two played a fantastic match in front of the Spanish King Felipe, and the veteran at times even recalled his best days. He quickly reached the break (2-0), but the argument with the referee after an injustice cost him dearly and his game was not at the required level for a while. The opponents once again took their services, so in the tiebreak Nadal’s greater experience came to the fore. The second set was a completely different story, the Spanish tennis player took De Minor’s serve at the start and kept the break advantage until the end of the match.
