Rafael Nadal is coming back to tennis, and he has some goals, but former Atp player Fabrice Santoro doesn't see him winning Roland Garros.
Rafael Nadal was never going to come back to tennis just to do a retirement Tour. The Spaniard is a very competitive player and is coming back to compete. Whether he'll be strong enough to compete for trophies remains to be seen, as Nadal is also skeptical about it.
To former player Fabrice Santoro, it looks like a fever dream. He's not the only one who expressed skepticism about Nadal winning Grand Slams. Famous coach Rick Macci doesn't believe that Nadal will be strong enough to challenge for the four majors, and to Santoro, who spoke to L'Equipe, it seems the same way.
If he wins Roland Garros, that’s superhuman, once again. But if he doesn’t win many matches, it’s anecdotal. When he comes back,...

It was a good match between Dimitrov and Zverev with the latter winning in three sets. He had some issues as Dimitrov gave him trouble a couple of times but for the most part Zverev was able to outlast the Bulgarian who never quite stepped up when it mattered the most.
He'll be looking to keep that going against Etcheverry, a player who strung together a surprise run at this year's event. Zverev is a more experienced player though right now they probably play on a similar level so it's not fair to say it's an open draw.
It's still a better draw than it would have been if Medvedev made it out of that quarter so he's probably okay with it. After the match, Zverev showed himself in very high spirits attempting some French...
