Having only had to face the less famous player Robin Haase in round 2, Nadal chose an attacking style of play as a storm that left the opponent unable to react.
In the opening set, the Spaniard continuously launched powerful right-hand shots across the pitch, completely overwhelming the opponent, thereby quickly suffering a 1-6 loss to the "Mr. of the Terracotta Court".
In sets 2 and 3, despite trying to catch up with the opponent's annoying shots, Haase still could not respond. In the end, he only held on a little longer and was willing to let the scores go and get 4-6, 3-6 respectively. Rafa's successful lack of fighting plan has helped him save his physical strength to continue to nurture his ambition to go further at Roland Garros this year.
In the previous match, Djokovic easily won against Joao Sousa after 3 sets with the scores of 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. The Serbian tennis player is playing more and more steadily and confidently aiming to defend the championship in Paris.
The women's singles event is not surprising as the players who are considered stronger still prove their mettle to win tickets to the next round. Garbine Muguruza continued to show instability when it took them 3 sets of 6-7 4, 6-4, 6-2 to defeat Anett Kontaveit. Meanwhile, Caroline Wozniacki has registered for round 3 of Roland Garos after an overwhelming victory with 2 sets of 6-0 against Francoise Abanda.
