ATP Barcelona: Rafael Nadal-Flavio Cobolli 6-2 6-3

After an absence of more than three months from the playing field, it took Rafael Nadal 85’s to regain success in an official tournament. In the first round of the ATP 500 in Barcelona, in fact, the Mallorcan defeated with a clear 6-2 6-3 the Italian Flavio Cobolli.

After a couple of settling games, Nadal began to take the lead in the match by snatching service from Cobolli already in the fourth game. The Italian, for his part, tried to hold his own against the Spaniard, but in the seventh game came the second break by the Mallorcan, who then easily won the partial 6-2.

In the second set, the ‘inertia è still in favor of Nadal, who manages to break Cobolli’s serve immediately. The Azure, however, manages to fight back, and thanks to a few too many errors by the Spaniard, he manages to get several opportunities to bring himself back on even terms. At that moment, comes another lapse on the part of the Italian player, who, after failing to regain the score, suffers another break that the Manacor left-hander manages until the final 6-3.

In the next round Rafael Nadal will face the tournament’s No. 4 seed Alex de Minaur.

Fiorentina, Palladino: “Inexplicable departure”

Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino spoke after the 3-3 draw with Puskas Akademia in the Conference League. “It was a bad start, you have to be realistic. It was an inexplicable start, leaving down 2-0 and also mentally and technically. We made technical mistakes that I don&#39t even see in practice, we were good at staying in the race”.

The Viola overturned the result in the second half: “In the second half I è liked the team attitude, I è liked the team spirit but we conceded goals on set pieces, there is no way to take a goal like thatì. You have to analyze what we did well and what there’è to improve”.

Kean found the goal: “I don&#39t think it&#39s a matter of a single player, those who è entered gave a strong push to the team. I would like to see some of this attitude from everyone, which I did not see today. I will know how to speak to the team, è it is my job and I will have to analyze this thing”.
