French is the second defeat in two rounds after beating Florent Serra in a Round. The rival's number one will be the next Russian Davydenko who beat Czech Berdych in two sets (6-1 and 6-1).

The statistical break points was decisive for the fate of the party. Nadal took all three occasions before the break, while his rival who had missed the 9. Statistics number one.

The two precedents between Nadal and Monfils (Monte Carlo and Rome) were very friendly Nadal, who had not ceded, nor a set. But this was Paris (factor public) and fast track. Monfils, the world No 16 and semifinalist in Roland Garros, began the match with a poor percentage with the first service, its main weapon. So, too soon Break Nadal in the draw (4-2).

When the Spanish served with 5-3 to close the sleeve, Monfils lifted his head and, using a pair of forced errors not of Spanish, increased to 0-40 marker. With the patience of someone who knows upper back Rafa all three break points, and in September fell as ripe fruit. 6-3.

Pushed by his audience, Monfils disputed an emotional game, alternating gray. In one of the valleys of his game, Nadal took the opportunity to rob the French service of his second set. Then came the battle. Monfils was again placed at the service of 0-40 above Nadal. That fourth game of the second sleeve was the battle that finally decided the fate of the party.

When the game was complicated, Rafa pulled repertoire, going crazy with their services to Monfils lifted and the Spanish lifted the body up to 5 balls break, too hard a blow to the morale of French tennis player unstable.

The audience was silenced and Paris Monfils dropped his arms, lost in useless battles parallel with the judge and the hawk's eye. Nadal became the steamroller to close the shock by the fast track. At this stage of the year no one should be generous with the effort, every minute on the track tomorrow weighed on the legs. The Spanish came back to break the service of the French, and I hope the eighth game to go to certify their rooms with their service.
