Pablo Carreno Busta praises the amazing comeback of Rafael Nadal
Pablo was in Mexico where he participated in the ATP 500 Abierto Mexicano in Acapulco. However, he bowed out of the tournament in the second round, losing to Marcos Giron of the USA. Further, he was full of praise for Nadal, who happens to be his training partner at Equelite Sport Academy.
He said, “Managing to win the tournament and apart from that how he did it… Not only in the final, which came back two sets from Medvedev when everyone already gave him up for lost; against Shapovalov he recovered from the two lost sets and in the fifth he won again; With Berrettini it’s not that he won easily, but he did win quite well and continues to show that he’s the best. He is competing with Novak and Federer to be the best in history and it is very difficult for a Rafa Nadal to appear again.” (Translated using Google Translate)
