And as Nadal is a great lover of golf, he has not hesitated to go support his friend Tiger on the last day of the PGA Tour tournament. In this way, he returns to the spirit that Woods and his two sons transmitted to him from the stands at the last US Open, in which Rafa was proclaimed champion of the ‘great’ New Yorker for the third time. 

From the images that the PGA circuit has offered, it seems that Nadal is suffering more than when he plays …

Garbiñe Muguruza

The recent confrontation between the two in the quarterfinals of the Wuhan tournament was very present in the minds of the two players. One, Garbiñe, because he knew what had failed in the Chinese competition; another, Ostapenko, because he was aware that he was capable of turning the game around as he did a few weeks ago.

That’s why Muguruza came out to bite from the beginning. And he did. He soon put land in the middle (4-1). However, she was perceived as uncomfortable against an impetuous rival, who when she takes the correct line of scrimmage, is unstoppable.

The Latvian lacks serve but, as soon as she improves it, Jelena will have the complete pack. The already ex-pupil of Anabel Medina is not lacking in tennis, attitude, hunger and mentality.

Garbiñe took the first set by taking better advantage of his opportunities and showing his best tennis in the decisive moments.
