The Barcelonian Alex Corretja and the Mallorcan Rafael Nadal will star in one of the most interesting duels in the first round of TMS Madrid left paired off after the draw was sorted this morning. The tennis player will shoot for Corretja, who entered the Madrid tournament after receiving an invitation, in a season when the results aren't accompanying him, the total opposite of Nadal, who has been revealed as the grand promise of national tennis because he is the one everyone wagers on for time. Nevertheless, the experience of Corretja can be converted to determination with which he succeeded in the Godo, the only previous meeting between these players and when the Barcelonian won after losing the first set, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

If in any way a match is foreseen as "hard and disputed", as Nadal recognizes his own, who also extracted conclusions after his defeat against Corretja in Barcelona. "There I began very strongly and then I deflated. I have to try to be solid and constant, because if not, these veteran players will take advantage of it." he commented. As for objectives for this Madrid touranment, the young promise of Spanish tennis has made clear what his objective will be. "Now there are many people that play well on court and as always I will try to do the best I can and become less fixed on the results." he assured.
