Rafael Nadal is back to his stellar tennis!
The world no.1 beat Denis Istomin in just 59 minutes conceding just 1 game to his opponent. Rafa was in his “on slaughter mode”. The King of Clay dropped just 1 game (the 5th) to crash Denis that was completely unable to offer any meaningful opposition for the entire match.
Rafa was rather effective in the break point conversion to break Istomin 6 times on 7 break points. Finally the Spaniard scored 54 points vs. Istomin’s 25. Match Stats
