There won't be again the match between Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev in Barcelona. The German player was upset by Hyeon Chung and so he won't face the Mallorcan player on Friday one week after the 6-1 6-1 loss in Monte Carlo.

When Rafa went in press conference after the win over Kevin Anderson by 6-3 6-4, the match between the two Next Gen players was still ongoing and so he analyzed what he could expect in both eventual matches. It's interesting what he commented on Zverev, who had said early this week that he went to play in Barcelona to hopefully face Nadal again.

'Zverev can be at the highest level and aim to the most important things of the sport', said Nadal. 'Then you have to show it om court and be humble to work. I know he likes tennis, but I don't know him enough to know his humility.

If you have it, it's easier. Otherwise I think he will make it because he has the qualities. There are many ways to be at the top. If you have feet on the ground you are happier and the street is less complicated. It's strange that he says that he comes to an event to play against someone.

I play certain events because I think it's better for my calendar or to improve', said Nadal, who about Chung added: 'I know him less, if he will win I see some videos of him tonight in order to have a clearer idea of how he plays.

I am playing at a very High level, tomorrow the weather will be good, the court will be faster than last two days and it's a good news for players and their body because an heavy court is dangerous for the arm, elbow and wrist.' Then he finally commented on his win over Anderson: 'It was a good match because when it rains you never know if you play.

Forecast was bad, so I am happy with the way I played. Conditions were not so good and the opponent was very difficult.' ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: 'I've been playing well the whole year, I am competitive'
