Nadal : "Mon pied était anesthésié à chaque match

Surely Nadal does not lose twice in a row to the same guy? Not in clay anyway

I don't think Rafa thought of this as a revenge match. I think he is playing against himself more likely. Just trying to build on each match he plays and hoping he stays pain free.

Unless nadal wins in 2 I can't see him wanting to push too hard yet

@Asktheexpert....did you have 🍟 on the side & a glass of wine 🍷 to wash down those words 😉😂🤣

⬇️ Agreed. And a 'daddy's boy'.
