I'm guessing it's not that hard to if you're the king of clay and the other guy is ranked 87.
Nadal looked good today, but tomorrow will be a much better view on his real form.

Maybe that's a good sign. Maybe it means he will win Rome too![]()

According to his clay stats this season, it is his 1st serve points won stats that have plummeted badly (1st serve too easy to return). That and return stats (although much less drastically, he's still one of the best returners, just not the best anymore).Let's hope it is
