This also means that his winning streak on clay is now at 77 matches. Unbelievable!<br /><br />Since I'm going to sleep soon and won't be able to catch the delay telecast @ 2 a.m., I followed up with the live score on the <a href="http://www.internazionalibnlditalia.it/1/default.asp?LNG=EN">official Rome Open website</a>.<br /><br />It was an easy win for Nadal which I couldn't believe it since Fernando Gonzalez, the finalist, is quite a smart player and had a good year so far especially when he made it into the final at the Australian Open.<br /><br />Nadal who had a rough day yesterday playing Davydenko, easily beaten Gonzalez 6-2, 6-2 in just 1 hour 24 minutes. I guess Nadal has recovered from dizziness and stomach pain which resulted in his poor game yesterday.<br /><br />With his perfect game on clay so far, it's definitely a positive campaign for the upcoming French Open at Roland Garros. But before that, Nadal will be heading to <a href="http://www.dtb-tennis.de/AmRothenbaum/">Hamburg Open</a>, which he and Federer missed last year, in preparation for the Grand Slam Open.<br /><br /></span>hcfoonoreply@blogger.com4
