Third seed Rafael Nadal will kick off his campaign at the Madrid Open against Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic.

Kecmanovic booked his place in the second round of the tournament with a straight-sets win over Alexander Bublik.

Nadal comes to the Madrid Open after having recovered from a rib stress fracture he suffered during the Indian Wells Masters. The Spaniard could be rusty in the first few matches. However, if history is any indication, the 35-year-old will likely have no trouble reaching the business end of the competition.
