The king has returned🔥 

We’re so grateful to have been able to watch @rafaelnadal make his comeback at the @bcnopenbs 

After 681 days away from clay, Rafa won his first round match making it look like no time has passed👏🏻

Here are some things we noticed during the match:

🎻He started off slow with his serve, but eventually got his rhythm

🎾He’s hitting the ball flatter through the court than he usually does on clay

🧹A new Rafa tick, cleaning the baseline when he has break point 
 
👂🏼He was really listening to his body, making sure he didn’t overdo it on day one

🫶🏼He was so happy to be back playing at a place that feels like home to him🥹🫶🏼

What did you think of Rafa’s return to tennis?!
