21-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal had an outstanding start in 2022. Currently, the Spanish is on a 15 match winning streak and is yet to lose a single match this year. Already, Rafa had three titles to his name in 2022, including the Australian Open title.
It’s also a fact that Rafa is also one of the most recognizable tennis stars in the world, along with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and others. Many young players look up to the Spanish star as their idol. Often, people can get star-struck as they get to meet their hero or idol. Interestingly, the same thing happened to a Bolivian tennis player, as he shared his experience meeting Rafael Nadal.

26-year-old Bolivian tennis player, Sebastian Eguez, recently posted a photo on his Instagram, as he described his experience meeting Rafael Nadal. According to Sebastian, he became completely speechless as Rafa said good morning to him. However, he did get a picture with Rafa as he posted with a hilarious caption. 

“Incredible to have a laugh with Rafa! I didn’t know he was there and when he said “Good Morning” I looked at him and I couldn’t answer a single word… He probably thinks I have ADHD!!” Sebastian Eguez wrote on Instagram.

Rafa will start his journey at the BNP Paribas Open on 13th March. He will get a bye in the first round, like most top seeds. However, he could potentially face young American star Sebastian Korda in the second round. 

Meanwhile, the new World no.1 Daniil Medvedev will also start his campaign on 13th March, despite all the controversies surrounding Russia and Russian athletes. If all goes well, we could see another Nadal vs Medvedev clash in the semi-final at the Indian Wells. 

However, before that, Medvedev could face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-final, and it will surely not be an easy match.
