Yesterday, we learned that Rafael Nadal was going to do a warm-up at 1 p.m. when his match started at 5.30 p.m.
This schedule surprised us.
So we went to ask Jean-René Lisnard what he thought about it: « In fact, there are really no rules. The player manages these situations according to his feelings. Afterwards, I also think that Rafa may be anticipating a game which could be long. After this warm-up, he will surely have a real lunch to have fuel for the match. He can also “retype” a little before if he feels it is useful. The only certainty and to have lived it live from the locker room is that Rafael Nadal is on the cleat before entering the court, he gets in condition and it’s very impressive »
