57 unforced errors from monfls and just 18 from rafa.
it would seem that clay warrior is improving with each match. I will catch this match tonight and try to get a better idea of nadal's form.
nishikori is a tough opponent so it will be a good test. nishikori demolished young so he too is playing well.
That's Nadal's main strength - to keep the errors to the minimum. He tends to lose his confidence with each error which is actually quite normal.
Monfils just wasn't there in the way he can be. I am sure he's better than this.
Btw, I only saw the first two sets of Andy vs Feli and after that, I was convinced Andy was going to win. lol I should now look for the 3rd set and see if CETs has posted it yet. Too soon though.
its high percentage tennis emma darling.
and then when you throw in the heavy topspin and the resulting clearance, you can keep the error count low on a good day.
nadal is the guy who can produce as few as 7 errors in a grand slam final. that does not happen often obviously.
if it does happen then it usually means that somebody is getting demolished.
