Roland Garros - First Round
1 Rafael Nadal d John Isner - 64 67(2) 67(2) 62 64
Did you hear? Rafa played (and won) his very first 5 set match ever at RG.
Well, that only took 40 matches. His W/L at RG is now a staggering 39-1.
Rafa: I only faced one break point in the while match,
But I didn’t play well in the tie-breaks; I was too nervous in my opinion.
For the rest of the match I did not play fantastic,
But I never play fantastic in the first round here so that was not unexpected.
Spare a thought for Isner who tweeted: Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Was fun out there today. Rafa is pretty good at tennis.
Indeed.
