Prior to the French Open, Rafa won titles in Barcelona and Rome. However, there was a disappointing result at Roland Garros when he lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Novak Djokovic. He decided to skip the Wimbledon Championships and the Tokyo Olympics.
The Citi Open is his first event since the French Open. Since his journey came to an end early, he will now look forward to the upcoming tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati.
