Rafael Nadal, farewell to Rome: he leaves furious
Farewell to the Foro Italico and to Rome: Rafael Nadal ended his last career Internazionali d'Italia in the second round, narrowly defeated in two sets by Poland's Hubert Hurkacz. Nothing to do for the tennis player from Manacor, who è was folded with the net score of 6-1, 6-3 and thus had to say goodbye for the last time from the Italian public, in front of which he triumphed no less than 10 times.
Too stark was the current difference between Hurkacz and the former world number one, in precarious physical condition. Nadal ended his Capitol experience with as many as 70 matches won.
The Polish world number 7 will face Argentina's Etcheverry in the third round, while Nadal will catch his breath ahead of the last Roland Garros of his illustrious career.
Nadal, applauded by all the fans, left the court visibly disappointed and disappointed, and did not wait for his farewell party organized at the Foro Italico. Then in a press conference he said, "I never said it was my last tournament in Rome".
