From The Telegraph: Brutal Nadal now major contender
This may be one of the most spectacular settings on the calendar, but Rafael Nadal was almost treating Court Central yesterday like a humble, pay-and-play park facility where all bookings are allotted an hour maximum. He was all done in exactly 60 minutes.
The boy wonder has always been an energetic player, rushing from one point to the next as though he were playing against the clock as well as his opponent, but the urgency and brutality of intent was totally compelling as he made his way into the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters. Xavier Malisse is experienced on clay, but this time he was the proverbial park-court hacker.
