Großer Tag, großer Gegner: Cachin & Nadal

Rafael Nadal zeigte einmal mehr, wie sehr er der Tennis-Szene fehlen wird, wenn er den Schläger an den berühmten Nagel hängt. Und auch den Spielern. Vorerst ist der bald 38-jährige Spanier aber noch im Rennen, beim Masters-Turnier in Madrid zog er nach einem 6:1-6:7-6:3-Sieg über den Argentinier Pedro Cachin ins Achtelfinale ein.

Doch was unmittelbar nach dem Matchball passierte, zeigte wie groß Rafa ist. Cachin, der  auf dem Weg in die 3. Runde auch den Steirer Sebastian Ofner besiegt hatte, bat Nadal: “Das ist der Tag, von dem ich schon lange geträumt habe. Kannst Du mir irgendetwas von Dir geben, ein Leibchen oder ein Handtuch?” Nadal antwortete: “Natürlich bekommst Du das.”

Kurz darauf brachte Nadal seinem Gegner ein Leibchen vorbei.
