Rafael Nadal ganó el martes 5 su primer partido luego de estar más de siete meses fuera de competencias debido a una lesión en la rodilla. El español, ex número 1 del escalafón mundial, hizo pareja con el argentino Juan Mónaco para vencer 6-3, 6-2 a la dupla checa integrada por Frantisek Cermak y Lukas Dlouhy en el torneo de Viña del Mar sobre arcilla en este balneario del Pacífico chileno. Nadal, cuya inflamación en la rodilla izquierda persistió a pesar de que está bajo terapia, no había jugado desde el 28 de junio, cuando fue vencido sorpresivamente en la segunda ronda de Wimbledon por Lukas Rosol, jugador que había sorteado la fase de clasificación. El español empezará a jugar sencillos hoy miércoles contra el argentino Federico Delbonis, y espera recuperar el terreno perdido ante los otros tres grandes del tenis actual: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer y Andy Murray. "Los dobles siempre son menos agresivos, el test real será hoy", dijo Nadal a pie de cancha. "Veremos a ver cómo respondo tenísticamente, a nivel físico y a nivel de rodilla". "Hoy he acabado contento por empezar otra vez", agregó. "Volver a competir siempre es una situación bonita y encima lo he hecho con uno de mis mejores amigos. El ambiente en Chile es fantástico y estoy feliz por todo el cariño que he recibido".

Rafael Nadal won his first match back since injury. That win in his first tournament of 2013 shows that he's back in championship form. At the VTR Open in Chile, Nadal beat Federico Delbonis 6-3, 6-2. It was a great start after missing seven months due to a knee injury, having been absent for the 2012 U.S. Open and the Australian Open. For all his accomplishments, it's hard to remember that he's only 26. This is a guy who has established himself as one of the best players to ever pick up a racket. After all, Nadal has won 11 Grand Slam championships, including seven French Opens and an Olympic gold medal in 2008. So maybe we shouldn't be surprised that Nadal made it look so easy in his first match back. Yes, Delbonis is ranked 128th in the world, so Nadal didn't have to play in championship form to win. And yes, Nadal missed a few shots and was still a bit tentative. That's to be expected after seven months off. But Nadal has shown that he can come back and win. He's the favorite to win the VTR Open and probably will. The French Open is still a few months away, and Nadal has plenty of time to prepare. He'll be ready. He proved that he can come back after a tough injury and win. He proved that he's still one of the best players in the world. By the time the French Open rolls around, Nadal will be in top form and will undoubtedly be one of the favorites. In the meantime, Nadal has shown that he's still one of the best out there. Coming back from any injury is difficult. Coming back after seven months and winning is even more impressive. Rafa is back. He's ready to roll and win some big matches. With one win under his belt, he's on his way to more championships.

Winning at the VTR Open in Chile is not quite the same as winning a Grand Slam. However, Rafael Nadal's return should be intimidating for the rest of the world. In his first tournament since Wimbledon, the Spanish star has played very well. He has already reached the semifinals with teammate Juan Monaco, and he won his first singles match against Federico Delbonis by a score of 6-3, 6-2. The fact that he is performing well without apparent pain is a very good sign after seven months of no competitive matches.
ResponderBorrarAfter his first singles match, he told the tournament's official website (translated):
"I am very happy to return to play and compete in a singles match. The sensations are good, but I repeat: I need time, I need days. Win me back to play again on Friday and enjoy a great atmosphere as it has been today. After several months without living thing has been pretty exciting for me".It is obvious he will not be perfect. In all likelihood, Nadal will be very rusty after missing so much time due to a knee injury and then a stomach virus. However, even if he loses in Chile, the rest of the ATP tour should start taking notice.
Despite falling in the second round of Wimbledon and missing the last seven months of play—including the U.S. Open and Australian Open—Nadal is still ranked No. 5 in the world. While Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have all won major titles since he was out, no one would be excited to play the 11-time Grand Slam winner. The primary concern will be the fact that the next Grand Slam tournament is the French Open. Nadal has won seven times at Roland Garros and has only lost once in 53 career matches.Regardless of how well he is playing at the time, Nadal's familiarity on clay should make him a favorite once the tournament begins. Additionally, his return makes the entire field tougher. There is a big drop-off between the top four competitors and David Ferrer, who has never reached a Grand Slam final. In the last two tournaments, one semifinal would be incredibly difficult, while the other would be a walkover. With Nadal back in the mix, both semifinals should be a thrill to watch. Nadal now has a few months to get back into competitive shape before the French Open. By the time the tournament comes, he should look like the champion of old. This is definitely not what Djokovic, Federer or Murray were likely looking forward to in the next Grand Slam.
