The Newport draw this year is like a throwback to the 70's or early 80's. Every match today, save one doubles match, involved an American.

Look at it this way.
Sure, it is Leo Borg. Who is about 80% of what his dad used to be.
Playing Rafa Nadal at age 80 (more or less the current state of his body), which makes it a good equivalent match.
I say it will be telling.
I hope it was a joke

Probably more players in the European clay tournaments this year due to upcoming Olympics being played on clay.

C'mon, laudable indeed. But he is not the first player to ever do that.
And it was only one break. This happens with frequency, and you don't have to be Nadal to do it.

We have to take our joy when it comes my man. :lol:

I thought the point was that given his lack of matches, and that he is not the player he was just two years it was a good result, mind you it was against Norrie who is going backward relatively quickly these days.

Nadal and Navone played a 4 hour 3 set match.
That has got to be some record. 80 minutes per set is ridiculous.
