ATP Barcelona Tournament Results & Quick Hits
- Novak Djokovic’s comeback continues with the odd stumble as he bowed out at the hands of qualifier Martin Klizan. Still before we get all doom and gloom, at least he is back ON the court for successive tournaments while Stan Wawrinka’s comeback from two knee surgeries was halted, and we are still waiting for Andy Murray to even make it on to a court.
- Kei Nishikori also succumbed to the injury demon having to retire following his run to the Monte Carlo final.
- Rafael Nadal therefore was counted upon to maintain the status quo as he bids to break more records in terms of Barcelona titles.
