Federer vs. Wawrinka was the first match on Lenglen; Nadal and Nishikori were second on the main court, Philippe Chatrier. Still, Nadal finished off his victory ahead of Federer. Both Nadal and Federer have lost just one set so far, although it bears mentioning that Djokovic, set to face Alexander Zverev in a quarterfinal on Wednesday, has lost none. “I really expect that he’s going to play aggressive, changing rhythms going to the net,” Nadal said of Federer. That’s why you have to be fearless to some extent to take on the spinny balls, the sliding balls, the kicking balls.
