Chanted by his followers, including some women even necklaces paper showed the colors of the Spanish flag, Nadal began the third leg comfortable on the grass that was responsible for release Monday, as his by being the defending champion.
However, his opponent tried to react and roused in some way, to finish with dignity his third match against the number one this season. It was set in which more you resist this American, 23, Nadal, who nevertheless was able to celebrate his victory number 44 on grass throwing wristbands to the public, as usual.
