It surprised me neither Thiem nor Wawrinka hit any BH winners (that I can remember) against Nadal on Philippe Chatrier which they wouldn't have any problem hitting on another court, say Rome.
I haven't seen stats on this, but just my observation. In fact I don't remember any BH shot that forced errors from Rafa. Wawrinka could construct a few points with his BH which he finished with FH, that's all.
It made me wonder how Federer dealt with Nadal on this surface with his BH. Surely I remember winners from his BH. Maybe a good point to rethink how good Federer BH is really.
Does anyone have stats on the number of BH winners (surely asking for FE from BH is asking for too much
) from Fed against Nadal in all/any of his 5 matches against Nadal at French?. I'm not quoting anyone in particular but hey @allStatGurus
Inb4 someone points Wawrinka and Thiem were crap: Thiem mentally checked out in last set, while Wawrinka was generally tired throughout, but I did sense a general helplessness against those high kicking balls.
