🎾 Rafael Nadal is a veteran to the French Open clay and he proved it today:
The second set was a bit more of a battle, with Ruud motivated to redeem himself. The set began in the Norwegian tennis star’s favor and continued to stay that way until Nadal found his energy again.
Just when Ruud was starting to show up, three quick errors in a row gave Nadal quite the break, ultimately starting a trend for Nadal. The Spaniard won three games in a row before Ruud tried to redeem himself again. But the second set ended just as the first, with yet another 6-3 win for Nadal.
