At this point, I think we can all agree that we don't care if Nadal doesn't win another title. We're just happy to see him back on the court again and doing what he loves the most.

[@abyass6]

Not bad for a player who isn't in the top 650 players, I think he has a bright future

[@akashsinha1619]

He just plays tennis different.. what a joy to watch.. tennis will never be the same without him.. his grunts, forehands and backhands.. one in a generation player Nadal

[@cwmhii]

Nadal’s return = tears of joy. God I miss that ridiculous whipping forehand, and the relentless fighting spirit. What a legend. Vamos!

[@99cya]

Not many players have such a positive effect on the crowd. Nadal we missed you deerly.

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

He looked so good..ripping lethal forehands everywhere, passing shots at the feet. defensive slice up the line. Amazing feel and deft touch..he is back and the crowds LOVE him

[@serbianbeast1733]

From a Djokovic fan, Federer was beautiful to watch, and Djokovic is efficiency personified, but no one electrifies the court and heightens the energy of the arena like El Matador...the God of clay: Rafael Nadal.

I feel so bad for Thiem. He’s watching a guy who is 6-7 years older than him, coming off a hip injury that sidelined him for a year, playing his first singles match and beating Thiem in straights. You can see the pain in his eyes during the handshake, where Thiem is normally all smiles. Thiem has been trying to find his form for almost 2 years now after the wrist injury, but really hasn’t been able to play at much higher than a top 100 level. He also made two bad mistakes at 5-6 40-40 to lose the set (bad approach shot, then missed an easy attacking forehand the next point).

[@jackmessent3490]

An absolute pleasure to watch Rafa's return to tennis. It certainly feels like the good old days to have Thiem and Nadal resume the rivalry

[@duncan3932]

Am i the only one who enjoys his backhand as much as the forehand, love the power he hits it with, probably one of the hardest two handers ever

[@sophiam2461]

It’s emotional watching this! As the biggest Rafa fan I used to not be able to watch a match if I thought he would lose, this year with him back I’m going to watch every single one. What an inspiration he is to come back after a year out! ❤

[@Rosielovesmusic]

Rafa: the most resilient tennis player of all time. Well done and great effort from Thiem too!

[@saltnugget]

He's now 550 at the live ranking. Hopefully this talented youngster can break into top 300 soon 🎉

[@puzzlemagnet1957]

My God this man is superhuman, 1 year out of competittion and in his first match does this, just incredible, welcome back Nadal !!!

[@christykong9884]

I feel really touched to see you back, Rafa. May you enjoy each and every moment on the court. Please stay healthy, our legend.

[@thomasodenkirk6444]

As rafa fans we need to cherish every moment he is on court, win or lose. And wish him a healthy 2024

[@Aksriv100]

Man this was so emotional to watch honestly dream comeback by Rafa the level he displayed that too against a Grand Slam Champion makes this win so damn special AO 2024 gonna be Epic 🔥💯

[@rickdevito2936]

Glad to see him hitting the ball like used to somewhat and not being in any pain. That’s the main thing he is legend
