Perfect analysis. This is exactly what is happening in the match.If Anderson doesn't come to net, he's got no chance. He doesn't necessarily have to S&V, but he needs to get that big body up to net.
Right now, Nadal is just moonballing everything, knowing Anderson can't hit through him and knowing Anderson won't come forward when he hurts Nadal, so Nadal can safely just moonball the ball back and reset the point and just wait for the error or short ball.
Nadal is playing about the lowest risk game I can imagine.
