I totally forgot the draw for the Brazil Open was today! Man, it’s going to take some time to get used to this non-stop draw/tennis thing. I’m sure none of us will mind, though. Rafa’s playing doubles and singles in Sao Paulo. For his partner, he picked his second Argentinian in as many tournaments: David Nalbandian. Here are links to the draws:
Singles
Doubles
Rafa will start his singles by playing the the winner of a match between Hildago and a qualifier. Seeds in his half are Ramos, Chardy and Bellucci. Seeds in the other have are Andujar, Monaco, Fognini and Almagro.
In doubles, Rafa and Nalby start off by playing Andujar/Garcia-Lopez.
Vamos!

On the Brasil Open de Tenis FB page, I’ve just seen the following
“Rafael Nadal and David Nalbandian debut in doubles key next Tuesday, April 12, at around 8:30 pm”(local time) :)
I think you got the date wrong coz April it too far away to be releasing draws…i guess you mean feb 12?
good spot Kyukee, yes Feb 12th…doh! :)
Great! Rafa, We love you! Keep playing and Winning!You have all our Support! Go Rafa!
I think it’ll be great to see Rafa playing dubs with Nalby. Wonder if they’ve played together before? *leaves to go find answers*
I think compared to chile the quality of the players in Brazil is more loaded so this would be a great measure of how Rafa’s progress.
I totally agree. Almagro has given Rafa a hard time even without a 7month break.
