We had waited sixteen months to see Rafael Nadal on a farewell tour and Novak Djokovic voluntarily missing matches brought together in the same tournament. Sixteen months, and then not much, or something relative to nothingness compared to the gigantic potential of these two sacred monsters. This Sunday, against Alejandro Tabilo (26 years old, 32nd in the world), the Serb was almost less convincing than the Spaniard the day before against Hurkacz (beaten 6-1, 6-3), without punch during the 1h07 of a match which will remain his heaviest defeat (6-2-6-3) on clay since his final in 2012 in Monte-Carlo against… Nadal (6-3, 6-1) and his first elimination at the Foro Italico before the quarter-finals in eighteen participations.
