May 11, 2024, 12:59 PM

Hubert Hurkacz defeated Rafael Nadal with scores of 6-1, 6-3 at the Rome Open, marking Nadal's last appearance at this tournament. Hurkacz, who has previously defeated Roger Federer in his final Wimbledon match in 2021, now adds another significant victory by overcoming Nadal, a 10-time champion at the Rome Open. This victory not only signifies Hurkacz's first win in Rome in four years but also ends his four-match losing streak at the event. Nadal's departure raises questions about his participation in upcoming tournaments, notably in Paris.
