Yesterday was round two of the adventures of Nadal and Co. I detailed yesterday what happened the first round. In the second round, they ran into an experienced doubles team of Max Miryni and Andy Ram, who also happened to be seated seventh. This time the experienced team picked on Roig and kept the ball away from Nadal.
Nadal, to his credit, kept the match close. Roig played better than yesterday, but it still was not enough to move him out of mess territory. Nadal and Roig were able to win the first set, and it looked like they were going to slide by again. Mirnyi and Ram cut down on unforced errors and won the second set. They then won the third-set tiebreak and the match at 4-6 6-3 10-8.
Nadal did not look happy at the end of the match. Hopefully, he learned a valuable lesson yesterday – that he cannot just play doubles with anyone and expect to do well.
