Mina decided to break many balls in the first and the second set but failed to take any · Nadal scored his 33rd victory in 34 Roland Garros matches · Horacio Ceballos will rival the Spanish player to third round
Rafa Nadal clearly won on his debut at Roland Garros French Gianni Mina (6-2, 6-2, 6-2) and passed the second round of Paris with little disheveled. The Spanish tennis player did not need to make a great game to subdue one of Gallo tennis emerging promises. The French player, with nothing to lose, he said very good manners in the first set and at various stages of the second, but ended up succumbing to Nadal's physical power, which he did not need to use to get the party back on.
Rafa started the match with authority making a break in the first game. It was the best evidence that the clash against Frenchman would be a cakewalk, but Mina was not easy. Especially in the first race and up to half of the second, where his good services and powerful forehands from the back of the court brought in more than one trouble to Nadal. However, the Spaniard saved many balls break and taking advantage of their chances to break the service of Mina.
A third set of proceedings
The marker of Suzanne Lenglen, which indicated a double 6-2 in the first two sleeves, was misleading to what was seen on the Parisian clay. Not that Nadal had suffered much, but his game was not to get a result so loose. The French unforced errors, and his obvious physical downturn, exacerbated by a bad back, did the rest.
Thus, Nadal walked into a third set without a history and Spanish tennis player closed the match in two hours and 23 minutes. Now ranked number two in the ATP must be measured at Horacio Ceballos and go a step further in your game if you intend to achieve Gallo tournament final.
