Rafael Nadal is gearing up to take on Zizou Bergs in his first-round match at the Italian Open, marking their inaugural encounter on the court.
Bergs, whose namesake is the esteemed Real Madrid figure Zinedine Zidane, seeks to create waves by challenging the Spanish tennis icon in Rome.
Despite Nadal being favoured in the draw, Bergs, who has predominantly showcased his skills on the ATP Challenger circuit this year, is determined to make a statement with his recent victories and hopes to extend his success onto the main stage.
Among all the fuss about the ATP1000 tour, Rafael Nadal in training was caught showcasing his football skills on the tennis court with the tennis ball.
It caught various tennis and football fans off-guard as they were too smooth and also back to back skills, something even a pro footballer might also struggle with.
Rafa’s ⚽️🤹🏼- skills get more and more spectacular every year it feels…😅
