I hope Nadal gets the same farewell as Federer got.

[@dlatriche]

Federer real farewell was 6-0 at his house Wimbledon. You hope that Nadal would take 6-0 at RG too? 😂

[@VamshiSrusty]

I was talking about that doubles match in Laver cup

[@heavybattle6650]

@@dlatricheThis is actually not a joke. Nadal has been lucky with his first round matches (or maybe the tournaments deliberately help) to play in such a bad state with easy opponents but God forbid he draws a killer like Tsitsipas, Rune or Zverev or Dimitrov they will obliterate him. And I don’t even want to think about Sinner, Djokovic or Alcaraz, we are probably looking at at least a bagel on one of the sets.

[@L4MMoTH]

Well, it has given me good vibes. I think Nadal is better than he claims. The environment and players who have practiced with him have said so. He's been out of competition for over a year. He nearly lost to a top 10 player who's having a good season and managed a very good first set against him. In the second set's break, I think he let himself go and perhaps didn't want to push too hard. He'll gradually regain form. If he has trouble serving, his confidence might be a bit shaken. Losing in the second round, after over a year without competing and against De Minaur, is within the realm of normalcy.

[@sergiudog2211]

Agree with one exception: he didn't "nearly" lost at all, he didn't have any chance actually. He was kinda competitive for first set, that's all, sadly. Hope he gets better before RG.

[@sergiudog2211]

Ok, i see your point, mb he didn't want to push herself too much right now, that's understundable.

[@limjieming8403]

Ruud & Tsitsipas both have a 2nd personality when it comes to clay.. both come back to life, so to speak..oozing confidence which is rather rare for these 2

[@bre7342]

Tsitsipas won titles and made finals and semifinals even on hc.Australian open, Atp finals, Toronto, Cincinnati, Rotterdam, Acapulco, Beijing, etc. He can be very good on other surfaces too. He was struggling with back injury some weeks ago so i think that's why he wasn't confident enough lately. I think he still need more matches to get his level back

[@limjieming8403]

@@bre7342 injury, no injury its the same for all players. Its evident from their playing style. They both prefer having more time to set up for their strokes. Esp Tsitsipas on his backhand, with more time, it comes alive. On other surfaces, its a liability sometimes. He likes to go for winners & lines but when rushed, unforced errors goes exponentially upwards. On clay he’s able to do what he wants n keep UFE down hence he play his best on clay n is ultra aggressive than normal. Since u like stats, go look at Tsitsipas’s UFE on clay vs other surfaces Ruud on the other hand, performs very tentative & hesitant on other surfaces, everyone knows this. Having only 1 hc title vs 9 other on clay and 0 on grass basically emphasized the point But both of them on clay, have been blasting winners left & right while been early in the clay season. That speaks confidence n preference

[@crqz4807]

Ruud was still good on hard courts made finals of Los Cabos and Mexican open finals b2b then also quarters of Indian wells last 16 at Miami masters and third round AO

[@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

Rafa's biggest problem is movement, his body is old , slow , it's sad to see him like this , but he will be forever icon of the sport

[@Wordalways]

So, what is Djokovic's issue when he loses? STFU! This is first tournament in a long time and he's play only four times this year, so what do you expect?

[@christophnickel8324]

Against de minaur most players look slow. Rafa has been out for long time and needs more time to get back to 100%. De minaur is a top player, who on a good day can beat anybody, so there shouldn't be any drama. Rafa will go deep in tournaments this season.

What most people fail to notice and praise is that the level of the other players has also risen.

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

Good win by Fils.

[@michaelbrower3068]

De Minaur played the perfect tactics for this match, forcing Nadal into long rallies where his lack of recent match experience produced lots of unforced errors. I'm sure this was deliberate, as he knows Nadal needs to finish points quickly these days until he regains his match form (if he can). Though Nadal's physical fitness is a question, it's his mental fitness I most wonder about. You could see him lose the spirit to keep fighting somewhere in the middle of the match, which the younger Nadal never did.

[@jarron117]

Well, my reason for watching this tournament is over 😢

[@neelmehra1645]

Somehow i get a feeling that players (other than nadal & djokovic) who show spark and perform well in the tune up tournaments before RG (Albeit they are prestigious tourneys) somehow don't end up faring well in the most important tournament RG. Like im getting this feeling Tsitsipas just may underwhelm us in RG Casper i have to say surprised me and i think everyone when he reached the RG final last year given his poor run in the hard court season and an obvious dip in level. But yeah i hope Alcaraz is fit for RG, as of now he seems to be the only one who can challenge Novak. Yes Novak hasn't been at his dominant best but we all know that he switches gear to a whole different level at slams (in Australia well he fell to Sinner who is right now the best so that doesnt take away his potential at slams)

Demon is a top ten player and Rafa is old. It’s that simple. Rafa’s play style is extremely physical EVERY point, (much like Alex’s) and that’s why we all love and respect him as one of the all time greats, but RG this year will be his retirement party I think, after he bombs out in the early rounds. If Rafa makes it to the second week it would, frankly, be a miracle, but I think Rafa is all out of those after winning the AO against Meds a few years back.
