The Madrid Open draw has been announced and there are a lot of top players that will be featuring in this tournament. This is another iconic clay season tournament in the ATP that every tennis fan will be looking forward to right now. There is no doubt the high-ranking players featured in this tournament will be the favourites in the tournament going forward.

While most of the top players are yet to get their opponents in the tournament there is one top player who has already managed to get his first opponent. Rafael Nadal is set to play 16-year-old upcoming talent Darwin Blanch in his first game of the tournament. This is perhaps one of the dream matches for the young player who will go head-to-head against the former world number 1 and 22-time grand slam winner.

Blanch’s surprised reaction breaks the internet

The young teenager who is still new in his professional ATP career posted on social media showing a surprised reaction to the draw. This was an unreal feeling for the young teenager after seeing him play one of the best players in the world and that too on a clay surface. Even the fans have given hilarious reactions to the shocked reaction from the young talent.

This is the Madrid Open surprising us already early into the game. Many people will want to see this match to see what the young man has in store for the king of clay who he will also be playing for the first time in his career. Blanch will have a lot on his plate, but this will also be an opportunity he will not want to waste at all. All we do is wish the kid all the luck as he will be the first to taste the thunder of El Nino in the tournament.

Here’s how the fans have reacted:
