Rafael Nadal vs Cameron Norrie
Head to head – Nadal 4-1 Norrie
What a blockbuster match this may prove to be. Rafael Nadal is back to tennis action as he prepares in full flight for the upcoming Olympics and Cameron Norrie should be a really good test to see where the Spaniard stands. It is tough to see how Norrie beats Nadal from the baseline but the 22-time Grand Slam champion may not be at his full fitness which may make this match extremely close. That being said, Nadal looks motivated this week and expect him to fight his way to victory.
Prediction: Nadal in 3
