The legendary Rafael Nadal commenced his journey at the ATP 1000 clay-court tournament in Rome with a hard-fought victory.
In the opening round, the Spaniard battled past the Netherlands' representative Zizou Bergs in a tense encounter, triumphing 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. The match lasted nearly 3 hours, spanning 2 hours and 47 minutes.
Throughout the match, Nadal committed 4 double faults and converted 3 out of 7 break points.
Next up, the former world number one will face Poland's seventh seed Hubert Hurkacz in the upcoming round.
