After struggling in recent years at Wimbledon, Rafael Nadal looks like a
contender thanks in part to this year’s patchy courts
Spain's Rafael Nadal celebrates beating Russia's Karen Khachanov in a third-
round match on the fifth day of the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.

round match on the fifth day of the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.
Wimbledon, England
At Wimbledon, unusually warm air and sunshine have dried up the famed grass
courts and increased patches of dirt. And that means Rafael Nadal actually
has a chance to win this thing.
Nadal is a legend of clay courts who has struggled in recent years on grass.
Knee problems have made the condition worse because, when the grass is
fresh and slippery, he can’t move or bend deeply for the ball as quickly or
comfortably as he needs.
But when the grass thins out and the dirt appears, the ball bounces higher,
Nadal’s knees are less stressed and he has a better chance of advancing.
Nadal won his third match on Friday, with the heat helping him beat Karen
Khachanov, who is 6-foot-6 and hits with brutal power. Nadal wasn’t
impressed. He broke Khachanov’s serve three times in the first set on his
way to a 6-1, 6-4, 7-6(3) victory. Nadal hit 41 winners and had just 19
errors.
Nadal sounds more hopeful than he has in years. “I am excited to be playing
again here, in a tournament that I really love,” he said last week. “If I
am able to go through at the beginning, I think I am with confidence.”
On Monday Nadal will play 6-feet 4-inch Gilles Muller, one of the men who
beat a young Nadal at Wimbledon. If he wins, his next round will likely be
brutal: 6-feet-6 grass-court lover Marin Cilic, seeded seventh and the owner
of a deadly serve, long arms and powerful strokes.
Considering how Nadal started his career as a clay master, it’s remarkable
that he can be dangerous at Wimbledon. When he won his first French Open in
2005, at age 19, Nadal went to Wimbledon with hope. Instead, he looked lost.
He hit forehands short and loopy, played mostly on the baseline and swatted
somewhat awkward backhands. Muller beat him in the second round, worse than
his third-round performance two years before.
His losses made sense: Nadal had powerful shots, but also a weak serve and
forehands that too often landed short. He needed to change enough aspects of
his game that it would have been understandable if he stuck with clay and
hard courts.
Instead, he worked even harder. The next year, he went for more depth on his
forehand and more power in his backhand, shots that keep attackers from
controlling him on clay.
And once the surface lost grass and became brown dirt, Nadal went to the
final.
His topspin forehands bounced in a funky way, and he didn’t mind if the
opponent’s shots did the same: Nadal had practiced hitting odd bounces on
beat-up courts since childhood at the command of his uncle, Toni.
In 2008, in his third straight Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, Nadal
peaked and beat Federer in one of the finest matches in tennis history. The
rain-delayed battle ended at 9:16 p.m., just before it would have to be
postponed because of darkness.
Wimbledon’s courts are prestigious. The surfaces are more firm than those
built in the past, when serving and volleying ruled the sport. Players say
that bounces remain true more on these grass courts than any other in the
world.
But they change when patches of grass disappear, giving players the ability
to sprint, rather than run. For some, the results are maddening, even for a
successful champion like Novak Djokovic, who has won three titles here.
“We came to play on grass, so it’s nice to actually play on grass,”
Djokovic said. “The more you play on it, the worse it actually is and worse
it gets. Contrary to clay, for example. The more you play on it, the better
condition it actually is.”
What annoys Djokovic allows Nadal to thrive, especially with his knee
problems that make him start the tournament with trepidation.
“You have to be a little bit more cautious,” said Grigor Dimitrov, who
reached the semifinals in 2014. “You have to stay a bit lower.”
Nadal changed his Wimbledon training this year by skipping the main
tournaments and working out on a grass court in Mallorca. He started in
small steps. “We decided that for my body is better to have a slower change
to the grass,” he said. “We were practicing little bit more every day.”
Nadal has had a little luck, too: Soft early round opponents, rather than
lowly-ranked, but serve-slamming, grass experts. His first round opponent,
Australia’s John Millman, isn’t a striking power. His second round came
against Donald Young, a small American with some magic, not missiles.
Now that Nadal has survived his first true slugger test against Khachanov,
he’ll be thrilled about the Wimbledon changes on Sunday, when no matches
are held and the groundskeepers work on the courts. Federer said the
adjustment, especially the removal of dead grass, lets players take more
risks.
“It’s easier to move from there on and I feel it’s easier to become more
aggressive,” Federer said. “Whereas the first week, especially the first
two matches, in my opinion, you have to be a bit more careful that you don’
t slip away.”
Nadal reached the Wimbledon final every year he played from 2006 to 2011 and
won the title twice (he was absent in 2009). Since then he lost in the
second round twice and the first round once. At his best, he fell in the
fourth round, which Nadal will play on Monday. Every time he has passed the
fourth round here he has gone on to reach the final.
“I am happy that I am here playing again in Wimbledon and with positive
feelings in terms of health,” Nadal said. “That’s the most important
thing.” | u**b
