I should also add that Nadal is way down the list of points so far for 2021 and did himself no favors by losing early in his favorite 1000. He is vulnerable and if he say were to get both Rublev and Tsitsipas in his draw at the FO, then he could lose early. The ********* acting as if he is invincible are whistling past the graveyard. He does not seem to have the same level of stamina. In his third set against Rublev, he was bent over after a long point. I have never seen him do that before. His biggest advantage is that he seldom loses a set at RG and so he finishes quickly. But if he get a 4 setter or two before the sf of f, he is definitely vulnerable and if he does not win the FO, he may not be in the final 8. Then Nole is almost guaranteed to finish no. 1 if he plays his usual steady game at the bigger tournaments and slams (and no DFs!).
