N.1 world Rafael Nadal was largely dominated 6-2, 6-4 in 1:24 by the German Alexander Zverev for their entry in the running in the Masters, Monday in London, where the Spaniard returned to the competition after his package in Paris-Bercy.

Zverev, the title holder, choked under his powerful Nadal, long uncertain for the Masters, which brings together the 8 best players on the planet. The Spaniard, in the fight with Novak Djokovic to finish the year N.1 world, had had to give up the semi-finals in Paris in early November, because of an abdominal injury.
