The mathematical options to unseat Daniil Medvedev
Rafe Nadal has disputed eight tournaments is season and now he prepares for the Cincinnati. If the Serbian has stopped participating in relevant events because he has collided with the regulations of countries that do not allow the entry of unvaccinated foreigners, the Spaniard has had to deal once again with injuries.
In this way, it has been advised that the Spanish tennis player delay his reappearance for a week. Resigned from the Masters 1000 Canadian ATPwill reappear in the Masters 1000 ATP in Cincinnati from August 15 to 21, the previous step to the US Open, in New York from August 29 to September 11.
Defending the points in Cincinnati is one of Rafa Nadal’s goals
Nadal’s absence in Montréal was not taken advantage of by the world top. Medvedev delivered 990 points from his number one account, which he is guaranteed on the next list, but not on Monday, August 22, since he will have to defend this position in Cincinnati to prevent Nadal’s promotion.
The accounts are clear: Rafa Nadal returns to number one if he wins Cincinnati for the second time in his career and Medvedev does not reach the quarter round. If the Muscovite endures, it will be even more difficult for him at the US Open, where he will expose the 2,000 points of the crown.
The manacorÃ’s injuries are no longer an excuse to consolidate in tennis
Nadal will start from scratch, as in the remainder of the campaign since he missed the second part of the 2021 academic year due to pain in his left foot. This fact about Rafa Nadal is underlined by his status as leader of the Race, the 2022 classification. Something very important.
He is the one who has consolidated the most points, 5,620. He currently has a lead of 1,340 over the second, Carlos Alcaraz who currently has 4,280, who remains in contention for the final number 1 of the year despite his stumble against the Tommy Paul tennis players in Montréal.
