Taylor Fritz snapped Rafael Nadal's 20-match winning streak as the Californian claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells.
Rafael Nadal is facing renewed injury concerns after his 20-0 unbeaten run to start 2022 ended with a straight-sets defeat to 20th-ranked Taylor Fritz in the ATP Indian Wells Masters final. The 35-year-old Spanish superstar was reluctant to discuss the upper body injury that hindered him against Fritz, insisting "it's his day," but he couldn't hide his disappointment and the worry about what it might mean for the claycourt season and his chances of a 14th French Open title." "Honestly, I wanted to make it perfect before clay," Nadal said of a 2022 hardcourt run that saw him win an epic Australian Open final against Daniil Medvedev and lift the trophy in Acapulco.
La Armada avanza con paso firme en el ranking mundial de la ATP. Tras todo lo vivido en Indian Wells, no sorprende. El duelo entre Rafa Nadal y Carlos Alcaraz, en semifinales del Masters 1000 estadounidense, es el mejor ejemplo del excepcional estado de salud del tenis español, . El pasado y el presente son grandiosos; el futuro, que ya está aquí, promete estar a la altura. El balear y el prodigio de El Palmar son, tanto en las sensaciones como en los números, los líderes del brillante elenco, pero no están solos. En el desierto californiano, también ha brillado Jaume Munar. Cuesta apreciarlo cuando se echa un vistazo rápido al cuadro final del torneo, pero salta a la vista al verle jugar. Y la clasificación por puntos se lo recompensa.
INDIAN WELLS, California: American Taylor Fritz upset Rafael Nadal 6-3, 7-6 (5) Sunday to win the BNP Paribas Open and snap the 21-time major champion’s 20-match winning streak this year. “It’s an honor to even be on the same court as this guy,” Fritz told the crowd. “I grew up watching this guy win everything.” Nadal fought off a match point on his serve with a forehand winner to tie the second set 5-all. He had two break points on Fritz’s serve in the next game, but the American held for a 6-5 lead. Nadal held to force the tiebreaker. Nadal sent two straight forehands well wide to set up Fritz’s second match point. Another Nadal error sent the 24-year-old American to the biggest victory of his career not far from where he grew up near San Diego. Fritz’s parents, Guy Fritz and Kathy May, are former tour players. “Winning this tournament is just one of those crazy childhood dreams that you don’t think is ever going to happen,” he said. Fritz dropped his racket and collapsed on his back. He got up smiling with a look of disbelief on his face. He became the first American man to win Indian Wells since Andre Agassi in 2001. Fritz earned $1.2 million.
Esta vez, no puedo ser. El resumen, ni más ni menos, de Rafa Nadal tras caer ante Taylor Fritz en la final de Indian Wells. El partido se torció desde los primeros juegos y, pese al empuje del balear, que forzó el tie-break en el segundo set, el milagro no se culminó. Entre las razones, seguramente, unos problemas físicos en su pectoral izquierdo que, frente a Carlos Alcaraz, ya le atormentaron. Pese a ello, sin excusas, Nadal, a pie de pista, se limitó a dar la enhorabuena al jugador estadounidense, el primer vencedor local desde Andre Agassi en 2001, y agradeció todo el apoyo recibido durante las dos semanas de torneo.
Edición tras edición, Indian Wells aumenta sus premios. En la presente, serán casi 16 millones de euros los que se repartirán entre los participantes del primer Masters 1000 de la temporada. De ellos, casi 1,1 (1.242.025 dólares) serán para Taylor Fritz, campeón del torneo. También para Iga Swiatek, pues las cuantías son iguales en categoría masculina y femenina. Rafa Nadal y Maria Sakkari, por su parte, al llegar a la final, ingresarán 602.054 euros.
