For want of the presence of the eight first heads of series of the individual match, when happening all of them directly to the second turn, the inaugural day of the Roman match, at least, has had to Federer and Nadal.

It has had them "as opposed to in front", in a Swiss-Hispanic duel of doubles with morbo including since, for many (it does not stop the players), one was first about the assaults between Federer and Nadal, to those who it is expected to them in a final that would be repetition of the won one here in 2006 by the Majorcan, as well as the occasion of a new revenge for a Swiss before invicto Nadal on the beaten Earth.

And the first assault has gone for a Nadal that in company of its great friend Carlos Moya defeated to Federer, to which secundaba its compatriot Stanislav Wawrinka, by 6-4 and 7-6 (5).

The good tennis and a given public

The party monopolized as much attention in the Pietrangeli track (second in importance and first in beauty) that not only exhausted the 4,000 localities of the launching slips, but that even were several hundreds more than they standing up followed it in his environs.

There was moment of the good tennis, diversion and spectacularity; as much that the public, in several points, applauded for more than half minute. And the Nadal-Moyas took the first Seth thanks to breaking the serve of Federer in the tenth game.

The second sleeve counted on the reaction of the Swiss pair, that broke in the fifth game the serve of Nadal, but the things recovered in the eighth (again on service of Federer), arriving itself at the thirteenth "decisive game".

There, Nadal and the Moyas went soon to clear 5 to 1 that it seemed to settle the question, but was not thus; it was arrived at the 5 to 5 and a serve for the Swiss. But both following points were of the Spaniards, who took the party.
