After overcoming the third round with irregular play, far from his best version, Rafa Nadal faces Lorenzo Sonego this Saturday, July 2, on Wimbledon Center Court in the fourth round. The Balearic tennis player will have to raise the level so as not to get a scare against the Italian, current racket number 54 in the world.
The match is framed in the third turn of the day on the center court, which will begin at 2:30 p.m. with the duel Gauff-Anisimova, will continue with Paula Badosa against Kvitova and will finally close with the Majorcan match. In this way, Nadal’s match is not expected to start before 5:00 p.m. and will be seen by Movistar
Years after his last participation in Wimbledon, Nadal returned to the London grass with a victory against the young Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo, against whom he had never played. The one from Buenos Aires surprised by winning the third set and put the Balearic Islands in trouble in the fourth set (6-4, 6-3, 3-6 and 6-4). Later he got rid of Berankis although without brilliance (6-4, 6-4, 4-6 and 6-3).
It will be the first time that the winner of 22 Grand Slams faces the 27-year-old transalpine player, who to reach the third round of the London tournament has been undone by Frenchman Gaston (7-6, 6-4 and 6 -4) and the American Kudla in five sets (6-7, 6-3, 7-5, 4-6 and 6-2).
