After an argumentative exchange in the third round of Wimbledon 2022, Rafael Nadal apologizes to his opponent.
The 2008 and 2010 champions Rafael Nadal won 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to get to the fourth round for the eleventh time.
So Rafael Nadal expressed regret to Lorenzo Sonego, his defeated Wimbledon rival, following a contentious confrontation in the last stages of the match on Saturday. Rafael Nadal, the second seed and the champion in 2008 and 2010, won 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to go to the fourth round for the tenth time. Sonego, who made it to the fourth round the year before, was expected to challenge the 36-year-old if he wanted to advance to the third round.
Nadal did not, however, face a break point until the eighth game of the third set, when he dropped serve. He may have become distracted because of a break in play to close the Centre Court roof.
He quickly recovered to win the game.
However, Rafael Nadal appeared to become enraged by the commotion the Italian was causing on the court.
Before shaking hands, the two continued their lengthy argument, and he even brought Sonego to the internet to voice his displeasure.
“I have to accept that I was wrong. Avoid calling him on the phone online. I apologize for it. I made a mistake there. No issue. I understand it, Nadal stated.
“And I spoke with him about it in the locker room, where it still is. I can only confirm that I actually saw him.
And I never intended to bother him in any way. I only wanted to bring up one aspect of what I think he was doing at the time that upset me.
There were a few issues, but that is all.
Rafael Nadal has already won the French Open and Australian Open in 2022. Accomplishing the Grand Slam for the first time since Rod Laver achieved it in 1969.
Rafael Nadal said of his finest battle in the finals, “This was without a doubt my best match here, against the toughest person I played.”
That I was able to raise my level makes me quite happy.
Rafael Nadal must first overcome Netherlands’ Biotic van de Zandschulp, the 21st seed, in order to get to the quarterfinals.
In order to get to the round of 16 at the All England Club for the first time, Van de Zandschulp, 26, upset French veteran Richard Gasquet 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (9/7), and 6-1.
Rafael Nadal easily defeated the Dutch star last month on his way to winning the French Open for the 14th time.
