- Spaniard records 1,000th ATP tour win at Paris Masters
- Nadal wins 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in first match since French Open
In his first match since a record-extending 13th Roland Garros title, Rafael Nadal marked his return to competition in the very same city with a rusty victory over Feliciano López. After dropping the first set to his 39-year-old countryman, Nadal recovered to win 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 at the Paris Masters.
Across the city from Roland Garros, Nadal’s record is not quite as impressive indoors at the AccorHotels Arena. Paris remains one of the few major gaps in his resumé, the world No 2 having reached only one final there in his career.
