Rafael Nadal impresses again in Paris.

The world no.1 concedes just 4 games to the world no.78 Guido Pella after a perfect performance in the Roland Garros 2^nd round.

The match lasted just the first 4 games (2-2), then Rafa took off to win the following 9 games (6-2 5-0). The Spaniard was “nice enough” to concede a game before winning the second set. Finally, also the 3rd set was a no contest with Nadal clinching the match 6-2 6-1 6-1 in just 57 minutes.

I played a solid match. NADAL

Soon after the match, Nadal commented

“I’m happy about the things that happened this afternoon, of course. I played a solid match, and it’s true that during the match I improved the level. The forehand, especially after the first set, I think it starts to go quicker and find more of the right spots, playing more inside the court and hitting many more winners.

So just happy for that and happy about the concentration that I was able to hold all the time, the right focus on the match to keep doing things better and better.”

Next vs. Gasquet

Rafa will face the world no. 32 Richard Gasquet in the 3^rd round.  The head to head is 15-0 for Nadal (34-4 in terms of sets). You know who is the favorite…
