Default Nadal's first singles match

How do you think Rafa was playing? Back to form or still needs some practice? I felt as if his shots had a bit less spin on them at the beginning and as the match went on he looked closer and closer to his original form. Any ideas on what's to come for the king of clay?

He's still trying to spark the fire within.

After taking so much time off and destroying in his first match, smells of ped.

He definitely needs more time, but he didn't look too bad to me, all things considered.

That is not true, because I remember doing some laughings when he was playing Lukas at my playground. You're welcome.

Thank you. But let us not make it about me, let us stick to Rafa who is making his coming backs. You're welcome.

Rafa is finally back! After that epic wimbledon 2 round match, where he created history, he is back to create more.

I hope gets back to top form, and back into the big four soon.

Movement looked suspect to me. He was hesitant at times, definitely let alot of shots go rather than try and run everything down.

His movement to the short balls was also suspect, at least the part of the match I saw which was near the end.

He was also landing alot of balls short in the court but that comes with match play and timing.

His movement is suspect, imo.

Just a bit of rust. He'll be fine.

Let's hope not. He is repetitive and not funny. I am all for good humor at the expense of Fed or anybody else but make it good at least.
