Nadal helps fan, gives shirt to opponent and advances to the round of 16 at the Madrid Open | tennis

Even after a 20-year career and many titles to his credit, Rafael Nadal still celebrates each victory as if it were his first. In a 3-hour match, the Spaniard beat Pedro Cachín by two sets to zero, partial 6/1, 6/7 and 6/3, and advanced to the round of 16 of the Madrid Open this Monday. At the end of the game, the Argentine even asked for the Spaniard’s shirt as a gift, a common scene in football games, but rare in tennis matches. Another curious scene in the confrontation took place in the first set when Nadal stopped the match to help a fan who was feeling ill in the stands.
