Rafael Nadal won his first round match today. For the first time at the French Open, Rafael Nadal is playing with his connected racket, the Babolat PLAY Aeropro Drive.

Many Babolat team players are using connected rackets. Their data are also available on the same platforms. Here are the data from Rafa’s first set.
