 | Nadal returned with a victory on the court1-10-2014 |
The Spaniard Rafael Nadal made a victorious return to the court after a three-month absence due to injury. The second-ranked Nadal beat Richard Gasquet strongly from France with 6: 4, 6: 0 for 78 minutes in the first round of the tennis tournament in Beijing with a prize of 3.75 million dollars.
This was the first match for the Spaniard from 1 July onwards, when he surprisingly lost in four sets from the Australian teenager Nick Kirios in the fourth round of the "Wimbledon."
28-year-old Nadal, who won the tournament in the Chinese capital in 2005, made the 13th success in 13 matches against Gasquet. He will play for a place in the quarterfinals against qualifier Peter Goyovchik (Germany), which eliminates the start veteran Ivo Karlovic (Croatia) with 6: 4, 2: 6, 7: 5.
