Rafael Nadal returned to the winners circle again on Saturday with his best win by ranking for two years as he beat Alex de Minaur at the Madrid Open. But this was enough to send
Patrick McEnroe purring as he looked ahead to the rest of the season.
Nadal will now face Pedro Cachin and with his quarter being blown wide open due to the demise of Stefanos Tsitsipas, it could be said that he may get even further confidence boosting wins. But for the brother of the legendary John McEnroe, it is also a matter of
Novak Djokovic coming back to play alongside Sinner and Alcaraz.
This in turn gets him super excited for Roland Garros to continue and who can blame him.
"Well…. Here comes Rafa… And with Novak gearing up… And the young guys stepping up… This could get…. Pretty …..Pretty ….darn good," Patrick wrote.
