Nadal stop using the dropshot, looks like a sign of tiredness. Just gave two points away for no reason.

Crap TB from Rafa, Navone takes the first set...

Looks like he'll go on with it from here, 38 yr old Nadal that hasn't played much in 2 years is going to have a really hard time winning the next 2 sets.

OoOps that tiebreak was dicey dicey asss fuuuugg!

If Nadal can´t beat this CH75 field, it might get even more dicey at the olympics.

Is it just his lack of speed? Has he reverted back to usual short Cross court lasso pattern that either does absolutely nothing or sits up nicely for opponent to take the front foot?

Too much is going wrong to pin point one thing. Backhand improved a little but the forehand got worse. He just can’t play at a high intensity for a sustained period. Against Navone, that is all he has got to do.

Bad Navone errors to let Rafa off from 0-30. I’d honestly call this a bit of a meltdown from Navone more than a level raise from Rafa. But what a point to claim it, and then the lawnmower!!!
