The most noticeable match will definitely be the competition between Rafael Nadal and Denis Shapovalov. 2 players will encounter each other at about 18:00 tonight.
Entering the 2021 season, Nadal's achievement on the forte of the forte is clearly not as expected. In two major tournaments, Monte Carlo and Madrid Open, the Spanish tennis players have to stop in the quarterfinals, respectively before the rivals Andree Rublev and Alexander Zverev respectively. The championship at the ATP 500 as Barcelona Open is clearly not enough to meet the expectations that people have for him.
Coming to Rome, Nadal had to meet very uncomfortable opponents on the day of the launch, Jannik Sinner – the young player who was impressive development. Even so, the King of the Platform still showed his bravery to win the ticket to the third round. Here, the Spaniard will face another difficult challenge called Denis Shapovalov.
Shapovalov is currently ranked 14th in the ATP rankings and is ranked 13 seeds at this year's Italian Open. This season, the achievement of the Canadian player on the ground is not good when he stopped in the second round of Barcelona Open and Madrid Open as well as the opening round of Estoril Open. However, reaching the semi -finals of the Italian Open last season will surely create more for Shapovalov the confidence when having to encounter the “crew king” Nadal.
