It was a perfect comeback for the World No. 2 Rafael Nadal after he registered straight sets victory over Pablo Andujar in the first round of Mexican Open 2020. Nadal won the match 6-3, 6-2 in 1 hour and 30 minutes as he starts his campaign to seize his World No. 1 tag from Novak Djokovic.
The top seed at Acapulco, Nadal was back on the court for the first time since his quarter-final defeat at the Australian Open 2020 in January. With a total of 79% of first-serve points won, the 33-year old looked in the top form as he did not give any chance for his opponent to make a comeback.
Nadal will now be up against Miomir Kecmanovic who had defeated Australia's Alex de Minaur 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in his first-round match. It will be the first time that the 20-year old Serbian will face Nadal.

It should be an easy match for the Spaniard, given how he has been playing and taming players in the recent past. With the defending champion Nick Kysrgios out of the tournament due to an injury, Nadal looks to the top favorite for the title as well.
