At the Madrid Open, Rafael Nadal bid a heartfelt farewell to the crowd, marking his final appearance at the Masters 1000 event. Throughout the tournament, Nadal gave his all in each round, leaving no dry eyes among the spectators.
Starting well, the 37-year-old beat youngster Darwin Blanch and followed that with a win over Alex de Minaur. He wasn’t done here and played an intense three-hour match to beat Pedro Cachin. However, he was up against another talented star the next day.
