Rafa fans! What did you think of Nadal`s first performance on hardcourt ?

Question

The score 6-4 6-2... A comfortable scoreline but Levine played really well, it wasnt exactly a very easy easy match. But hey Nadal came through and thats all that matters :P !

Answer 1

He won, and can only get better the more he gets used to the suface.

Answer 2

I wouldnt be worried; I mean this is Rafa; he needs time to get into the groove of a tournament. It shows:

In the french open, Tomaz Belluci and Nicolas Devilder (first and second round opponents respectively) were able to get more games off Rafa than Federer was in the final. Is that to say Belluci and Devilder are better players than Federer? No. And at, Wimbledon, Andreas Beck wasn't a walkover, and neither was Gulbis. Thats the way he works, he starts off slow and sluggish, before he gets used to the occasion, and then its all Rafa.

I wouldn't be worried about it, as soon as he broke back he was in control. He'll be rite!

PS. Federer just got broken by Simon.
