Darwin Blanch vs Rafael Nadal Prediction & Picks - ATP Mutua Madrid Open

 by Edgar Jibran | in ATP Mutua Madrid Open Picks

The ATP 1000 in Madrid 2024 is called to be “The Last Dance” for Rafael Nadal in this prestigious tournament where he was able to give such memorable matches during the last decades, so even when he isn’t recovered at all, having the opportunity to participate in the main draw as a Protected Rank player will be such an amazing experience for him, the fanatics and even for Darwin Blanch, a 16-year old American player that got into this tournament as a Wild Card.

When reviewing on both players’ performance, Darwin Blanch is giving his baby steps on the ATP circuit, so it will be memorable for him to remember that he had the opportunity to face Nadal once during his career, so he must show a more competitive level than the one showed during his first-round match in the ATP 1000 in Miami, where he lost in 2 straight sets against Tomas Machac (6-4, 6-2).

On Rafael Nadal’s case, he’s already announced that he is ready to retire, but he is really giving all he has left in the tank trying to compete in Roland Garros 2024, so even when he is the absolute favorite to win this match, it will be necessary to look closely on how careful he will be during the match to avoid a new injury that could eradicate his options to compete in RG.
