Ya era una gran noticia que Rafa Nadal hubiera tomado la decisión de competir esta semana en Acapulco, pero verlo jugar de nuevo a un gran nivel convierte esa buena nueva en un acontecimiento fantástico para el tenis. El balear venció sin dificultades (6-3 y 6-2 en 76 minutos) al estadounidense Denis Kudla (29 años y 100º del mundo), repescado de la previa por la renuncia de su compatriota Reilly Opelka, que hubiera sido un rival más complicado por su potente servicio. «Un partido muy positivo. Empecé jugando bien, es una victoria en dos sets, que siempre es bueno para la confianza y para continuar. Una actuación sólida para ser el primer día. Por supuesto, hay un par de cosas que puedo hacer mejor, pero no me puedo quejar en absoluto», dijo en la nueva pista central del torneo, con capacidad para 10.000 espectadores.
