Rafael Nadal saved some honour on Thursday, beating Casper Ruud 7-5, 7-5 as he bowed out of the ATP Finals in Turin at the pool stage.
Rafael Nadal said he was slow and rusty as he suffered a disastrous start to his bid to win the ATP Finals for the first time after crashing to a 7-6 (7/3), 6-1 defeat to Taylor Fritz on Sunday.
