Rafael Nadal Enjoys a Winning Start to his Comeback at Vina Del Mar

ATP 250 Vina Del Mar - Men's Doubles First Round

Rafael Nadal & Juan Monaco d 2 Cermak & Dlouhy - 63 62

Phew. Rafa's singles return begins today.

Juan Monaco posted the pic (watch prominent!) with the caption:

Very happy to play next to my friend Rafa at his return.

Rafa post match: It was a great feeling to play again and

I'm very happy for doing it with a friend like Monaco in a great atmosphere

that we had on the court. In doubles the effort is always less [taxing];

we will see how it goes in singles and how my physical condition is.

I chose this tournament because it is the perfect time and surface.

Trust me - the Twittersphere went nuts with his return yesterday.
