Rafael Nadal made a triumphant return from injury in the first round of the Barcelona Open, defeating Flavio Cobolli in straight sets in impressive fashion.
The 37-year-old was playing just his second tournament in 15 months, having picked up another injury at his comeback event in Brisbane in January, but showed no signs of rust as he comfortably saw off his 21-year-old opponent 6-2 6-3. Nadal received a hero's welcome as he strode out onto the court that bears his name and, although there were a few loose forehands in the early stages, the 22-time Grand Slam champion was too strong for Cobolli.
'What kind of stress can that body handle? The rest of the game looked to be in pretty good form. 'Nadal showed good touches early on so it's good news for him.' Tale of the Tape Norrie wins in bizarre fashion British No 1 Cameron Norrie is through after facing a bizarre interruption to his match when his opponent's phone rang. French qualifier Harold Mayot was about to serve early in the second set when he had to run to his bag and turn the device off.
