Paris , France 2009.first/second round
Unbelievable uber-ace(s) from Rafael Nadal in Paris ! What a new achievement , right ?
Second & third round were a headache for him , with those top-form-stroke from his opponent and fast-opening ace that could easily send Nadal away in straight sets. And those opponent(s) were no match compared to Nadal's performance Last Time , winning NO sets at all ; that was . And now , they rise up and Nadal's performance IS deteriorating as though he is just some beginners in ATP .
Quarter-final
But , he manage to secure a place for himself at the quarter-finals . He played so well that the former champion in Paris , Tsonga , a frenchmen had to lose in straight set 7-5 , 7-5. Tsonga started so well , finishing the game in only 45 / 46 seconds (if my memory serves me right) . That's terrifying that I thought Nadal will completely lose his rally , his game and go back to Spain . . . But , when he achieved some ace(s) , he had back his confident to win the game .
Semi-final
I've nothing much to comment .
He bloodily lost to Djokovic in straight sets 6-2 , 6-4/3 . Djokovic is in really , tremendously top form in Nov , beating Federer last week in Switzerland.
Looking forward to ATP tour finals at London.
