Rafael Nadal started off his year with back-to-back Grand Slam title wins as he won the French Open and the Australian Open this year, he was on a good run at this year’s Wimbledon as well but his run was cut short after he sustained an abdominal tear in the quarter-finals against Taylor Fritz. The Spaniard was forced to retire before the semi-finals of the event and he hasn’t played a match ever since. The Cincinnati Open will be the tournament he makes a comeback in and it should be a good game as he takes on Croatian professional Borna Coric.

Borna Coric, coming back from a shoulder injury hasn’t enjoyed a similar season as his opponent Nadal. He was sidelined for most of last year and he made his comeback at this year’s Indian Wells, he did have a good run at the German Open where he reached the quarter-finals but had to retire mid-match. Winning his first round game of the event, Coric defeated Lorenzo Musetti by 7-6(2), 6-3.

Facing one of the greatest players of all time in Rafael Nadal, Coric has a mountain to climb in the second round as Nadal is making his comeback and is going to be a formidable opponent as the Spaniard will be looking to reclaim his number 1 spot in the rankings.

If Nadal can continue on his form before his retirement due to injury, he should have no problem in defeating Borna Coric and progress to the next round of the tournament. Coric however will have to stay focused if he is looking to pull off an upset against one of the greatest players of all time.

Prediction: Rafael Nadal to win in straight sets
