22-time Major champion Rafael Nadal will commence his United Cup campaign against Britain's Cameron Norrie on Saturday.
Nadal had a fantastic 2022 season, though towards the end injuries prohibited him from competing at a high level. He took the lead in the Grand Slam race, winning his 21st and 22nd titles at the Australian Open and the French Open respectively. He also won another couple of titles and finished as the runner-up at the Indian Wells Masters.
The Spaniard made some changes to his coaching team in the lead-up to the new season. While Carlos Moya is still a part of the team, along with Marc Lopez, he parted ways with long-term coach Francisco Roig, bringing an end to a partnership that lasted for 18 years.
The 36-year-old produced a 20-match winning streak which commenced in Australia earlier this year and will be aiming to replicate the same yet again. His opponent, Norrie, has already played his first singles match. He defeated Australia's Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-3 to begin his country's campaign on a winning note.
Nadal and Norrie have faced off four times before this, with the former having a perfect 4-0 winning record. He is yet to lose a set against him as well. The Brit has improved a lot over the past two years and has the potential to challenge his much decorated opponent.
