Nadal is playing in Barcelona against compatriot Albert Ramos, ranked #38 in the world, in the 2nd big European clay court event. Nadal was knocked out on clay in Barcelona against David Ferrer, who then lost to Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets the next round.
Today, Nadal has been broken twice in the 1st set. Then 2nd time he was serving at 6-5 for the set. He lost and was forced into the tie breaker. I imagine he will win this match, but he does not look as dominant as he did in the past, even on clay. Wawrinka looks to be the man to beat so far this year.
