–

Not a great start to 2023 for Rafael Nadal, although it was a pretty tough opener as he faced Cameron Norrie of Great Britain.

Nadal went down in three sets, as Spain is in big trouble against Great Britain going into Day 2 of their clash.

Will Nadal and Paula Badosa end up playing mixed together? Or will it be a dead rubber, and they’ll save him for the next one?

Tune in.
