Leonardo Mayer has won a set against Rafael Nadal for the second time in his career, but has not been able to make a sensation in the second round of the ATP 500 series in Barcelona. Matadora made a 6:7 (7), 6:4, 6:2 win for 2 hours and 52 minutes.


The Clay Relay played a weak first set of high standards, but then made the necessary adjustments to dominate the remainder of the game. The 63rd Argentinian player could not maintain a high level of play for more than an hour on the Nadal court and had to accept the defeat.



The next opponent of Rafa will be veteran David Ferrer, who earlier in the day eliminated Australian Open semifinalist 2019 Luka Puy.


In the first set, Rafa was definitely not at high level and was much more passive than the fans used to see in red courts in the last two seasons. The pitches were mostly passive, and only in the tiebreak the level rose as they both exchanged a breakthrough due to mistakes - Nadal of the forehand, and Meyer of the backhand. Rafa secured two Tebballs at the end of the game from watch online football when he finally raised his aggression and stepped forward, seeking forehand-winers. The first was lost to Nadal`s serve, and the second was reported by Meyer through his initial strike. Also, Nadal could not save Argentina`s set-up and set a rare set loss of 6:7 (7) in 72 minutes.
The second part went far more to the taste of the King of the clay, which started in the best way - with a breakthrough - this time dominating enough in the remaining games to keep its advance and win by 6:4. Rafa was far more varied in his pursuits and managed to hold the meeting as he wished from the bottom of the court. Meyer also contributed to the loss of the set, bringing together 35 unprovoked balls after the end.
Meyer`s mistakes continued to hamper his progress in the third set and Nadal started to hit the ball a little earlier, with his backgammon on the diagonal becoming murderous. He recorded several key winnings with him, made two breaks and closed the match with 6:7 (7), 6:4, 6:2.
