Rafal Nadal and Pico Monaco are great friends, but on the courts things are different. Rafa was absolutely merciless to concede just 1 game. The most embarrassing part was the second set when Monaco won only 5 points. Match Stats
Nadal: I played very well
Rafa was rather happy to comment “I think I moved better and played well, better than I normally play on the clay. was dominating over the points and playing very well. I think I’ve done positive things.”
Next vs. Nieminem
