Pretty much every 1st serve Nadal just floated back the return, I don't think I saw him hit one top spin return other than when he ran around his backhand on 2nd serves.
Is there any reason for this? He's not a terrible volleyer, and he did do it a few times. I think he won around 60% of his 1st serves, which means taking out the unreturned and aces he was around 50%. I'm sure he could win a lot more points by volleying those easy floaters
Federer would've been in the net a lot more if Nadal was doing that to him. Is this what tennis has evolved to? Nobody can serve and volley so just float back the return and start from there?
