In the first half of the first set, when Tsitsipas was dominating, it seemed he was giving Nadal a dose of his own medicine by hitting extremely heavy looping forehands that were troubling Nadal. It seemed he then started flattening it out more and Nadal actually handled it better. Maybe I'm imagining it, just my real-time feeling as match went on.
It's an interesting question. Because it was an ATP 500 event, information like spin rates and net clearances aren't available annoyingly. I'll rewatch it at some point and come back to this
Too gooood. Take care Matt
