Review: Plenty to be excited about in TopSpin 2K25, which successfully recreates the joy (and frustration) of tennis

As Rafael Nadal did his part to secure a spot in the fourth round on Friday, a fellow champion watched from Wimbledon's Royal Box. Reigning Masters champion Sergio Garcia took in the performance, which saw Nadal move past Karen Khachanov, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (3).

Nadal kept clean focus throughout the match against the rising 21-year-old:

If Nadal had not been very sharp, could easily have lost to the rising Khachanov. He was very sharp: 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (3). 41 winners, 19 UEs

He has yet to drop a set this fortnight. While Garcia and his fiancé Angela Akins did their job watching closely.

Garcia's Masters-winning green jacket was an outfit certainly appropriate for the All England Club. The Spaniard also visited the ESPN studios to rave about his compatriot Nadal:
