Who will fit-again Nadal have to beat in Acapulco to turn up heat on Federer

Rafa Nadal is a highly-decorated tennis champion but he is second-best to 36-year-old court king Roger Federer, according to Nadal's uncle Toni Nadal. "What he's achieved is very hard and you can only congratulate him", Sport24 quoted Nadal, as saying.

"My goal and hope was to play in this tournament", he said at a press conference on Tuesday in Acapulco.

World No.2 Rafael Nadal will have to wait further for his comeback after being retired hurt from the Australian Open last month.

But Nadal, 31, felt the same injury he suffered in Melbourne in training on Monday, seeing him withdraw from the ATP 500 event. "I went to Cozumel first, to adapt (to the climate)". I do not know what it is yet, but it is in a similar line to what happened in Australia. Nadal meanwhile said he has fully recovered from the right leg injury that scuppered his Australian Open campaign. We'll have to do more tests to see the extent of the injury. Nadal has been replaced in the draw by lucky loser Taro Daniel of Japan.

Canadian Denis Shapovalov rallied to beat Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-1 in a two hour, 17 minute marathon match.

"I like his fighting attitude".
