Rafael Nadal has reached eight Paris Masters quarter-finals and played in the title match but never managed to make the last push at the season's last Masters 1000 event.
Nadal reached his 5th Paris Masters semi-final was the top favorite before experiencing a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Alexander Zverev.
The return was a massive problem for the Spaniard that week, and Zerev took a full advantage of that.
And the World No. 6 has reminisced about it while quoting.
"Zverev is playing well, and his serve is enormous. I decided to go eight meters behind the baseline to have a chance, but it was too late," Rafael Nadal said.
