Links to Nadal R. Nadal's victory in front of an entranced gathering on Court Philippe Chatrier came down to his spirit and a sense of his own history: he had never lost in the first round of a slam he owns nine , he had never been five sets in Paris — and his only loss in 39 matches here was to Robin Soderling two years ago, when not fully fit.
In the 18 five-setters of his career only Roger Federer, twice, and Lleyton Hewitt have got the better of him — and they are some way better players than Isner. Yet history counted for nothing on Tuesday, as is sometimes the case in this city, and Nadal several times had to quiet the disbelieving crowd with breathtaking saves and desperate winners.
As Isner rifled in serve after serve that threatened ball-kids and line judges, backed up by astute charges to the net for countless delicate volleys, Nadal had to risk all with passing shots. It made for an encounter enthralling all the way to the end, one heightened by two tie-breaks, and illuminated by a fightback in the last two sets by Nadal that left Isner stunned.
That's why he's No1 in the world and one of the greatest players ever. Nadal admitted there had been a few "disasters" in recent months. I accept this," the Spaniard said. Right now … I don't think this will happen again. The Spaniard will hope for a quieter time against his compatriot Pablo Andujar in the second round. Another scare is unthinkable. Even a week ago Nadal was at the very least sharing favouritism here with Novak Djokovic, the irresistible Serb who has beaten him four times already this year, twice on clay, most recently only two weekends ago in Rome.
Whatever the testimony of those defeats, there was an underlying faith, purblind perhaps, that Nadal would not loosen his grip on the championship. The winners Michigan, Cincy and losers oh, Texas!
