This is an ambiguous phrase and could mean one of 2 things:
1. It could mean each tournament win gets more and more difficult
Or
2. It could mean this particular tournament was his easiest to win, because he had a joke draw
I'm sure she meant the 1st one, but perhaps she was taking a subtle dig at his easy draw? What do you reckon? When I heard her say it, I saw Nadal was slightly taken aback and looked a little offended, although he laughed it off. I think he thought she meant the 2nd one (Nadal is not a native English speaker, so you can understand why he might think that. Maybe he also thought she was playing to the Federer-biased crowd?).
