The game will be part of an exhibition tour that both tennis players will also carry out in the capitals of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.
For Ruud it will represent a revenge, after he lost to Nadal in the final of the last Roland Garros, played last June.
That final It was his fourteenth title at the French Open, the Grand S lam who has won the most in his career.
While Ruud, who has yet to win one of the four most important ATP tournaments, has just lost last September in the US Open final against the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, the new tennis figure who occupies the first place in the ATP ranking.
Nadal and Ruud will copy in Mexico what Roger Federer and the German Alexander Zverev did when in 2019 they played in La México against 42.517 amateurs, which was a world attendance record for a tennis match.
Back then, Federer, on his only visit to play a match in Mexico, defeated 3-6, 6-4, 6 -2 to Zverev.
It is expected that for the duel between Nadal and Ruud there will be an amount equal to or greater than 42.517 amateurs.
