The landlord made a strong impression. Rafael Nadal, unbeaten on the red carpet in Monte Carlo since 2005, will still be very hard to beat this week. Marinko Matosevic the day before he had taken three games, Philipp Kohlschreiber was barely better on Thursday without reaching worry Spaniard, winner in two straight sets (6-2, 6-4). Still very impressive on the surface he knows better than anyone, the eightfold titleholder still seems over the lot this year in the Principality, and the competition is not the best.
Ago absences on the Rock of two of the five best in the world, Roger Federer (choice) and David Ferrer (injured). Novak Djokovic, probably even more to worry about the flurry of Manacor, is just recovering from a sprained ankle and his first score against Mikhail Youzhny was not very convincing, far from it. Andy Murray remains less efficient on the ocher on fast surfaces, or Juan Martin Del Potro, also still sometimes irregular on clay.

I am pleased to being able to make a quick break while the second set was a little more complicated. " Despite some garbage in the game (21 unforced errors) Nadal, always a perfectionist, itself more than ever as the huge favorite to succeed him.
