For non-Spanish speakers. Cachin tells him at the end... "you have made my dream come true (playing that match) and I don't know if it is breaking protocol but I would like to have your shirt." Nadal tells him that he does give it to him inside and they wish each other the best of luck.

I really would like to know the exact nice words of Pedro at the end, Rafa looks shy and impressed. I can hear more or less "gracias por el partido, he cumplido mi sueño...me estoy saltando el protocolo pero da igual, gracias de verdad". Rafa answers very kindly "Muchas gracias, un placer por mi parte". And definitely you can see the words touch his hearth, like one minute later (not shown in this video) Rafa goes to Pedro to give him a small hug. WONDERFUL BOTH.

Even at less than 100%, that forehand on clay is amazing.

[@Introverder]

And what about complimenting Pedro Cachin? After beat up in 1st set he came back and even pushed the match till the 3rd set. Sure, Nadal finally was better but hats off for Pedro. After 1st set I was thinking that the score will be like 6-1 6-0.

It is an advantage for Rafael to play against rivals for the first time, since they feel nervous facing a legend.

@@harryp3804 What Cachin has shown in the 2nd and 3rd set could be I guess sufficient for many decent players I guess but Rafa showed why he is forever king of the clay (Rafa really got the rhythm throughout the match and seemed I guess remind younger himself). Just first set was horrible for Pedro and that he is just a boy to beat which appeared later to be wrong. Off course I've seen better performances but still quite impressive comparing to the 1st set.

[@henryrugg4971]

People saying Rafa can't do damage hereon because he was pushed to 3 sets by a lesser player are mistaken: the guy was incredibly sharp in the first set and in the De Minaur match. He had a momentary lapse in focus and form in the second set, which is bound to happen given the lack of recent match play. Expect him to come out all guns blazing in the proceeding weeks.

[@iamrips2132]

hahahaha but he will be crushed in the FO by the likes of Djokovic, Sinner or Alcaraz..............No chance for him

[@onakitokiful]

@@iamrips2132 at this level of course not, but the thing with novak and rafa is that play better each match they play in a tournament, so if he is playing as this in madrid, and keeps increasing level at Roma, he could be a problem in the FO.

Great match. Rafa was aware that a possible long battle was on the horizon, he spoke about that in previous conferences/interview. Cachin is a veteran of clay courts with a great spirit and well-rounded strokes, no surprise in watching him fight like this. What is surprising is Rafa's mentality, finding the courage and strength to keep grinding at this age, with his body and under such pressure. Grateful of being able to watch this live.

[@pureffm]

Great result for Rafa. He realized he needed to stop going cross-court 100% of the time with his forehand to surprise Cachin and make him doubt. Even though his down the line was riskier than usual because his movement to his forehand is still a bit compromised, it was enough to put Cachin out of position and to stop expecting the cross-court forehand. Rafa had to use all of his experience and make the adjustments to win today. A potential QF against Medvedev seems the best he can hope for right now, though, but let's see how well he recovers!

[@saratpoluri]

The backhand is at 80%. The forehand is at 70%. Still needs that down the line screamer. He fixed the depth of shot in set 3. Makes me hopeful for RG. Vamos Rafa! What a fighter!
