Athletistic / Tennis Former World No. 1 Rafael Nadal has shared his thoughts after a tough win in Wimbledon’s first round match against Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo (6:4, 6:3, 3:6, 6:4).

“First of all I have to give credit to Fran. He played superbly, he was very uncompromising. It was very difficult not to play here for three years. I’m happy to be back.

I haven’t raced on grass in the last three years and I need time. Today was the first game. Every game here is a test, and today was very important. The main thing is that I managed to win.

I haven’t forgotten that wonderful moment when I played in the Roland Garros final, and the next day I went to court in Queens. Now my condition does not allow repeating it.

The most important thing right now is that I’m here and I start with a win,” Nadal said in an on-pitch interview.
