Clay master Nadal sent packing from Monte Carlo Masters

The elite Masters tournament had already witnessed world No.1, Novak Djokovic, crash out in the third round to Daniel Evans, but Nadal’s loss was surprising, especially after he had roused himself from a 6-2 first set loss. In his 16th straight Monte-Carlo quarter-finals, Nadal won the second set 6-4 but fell completely apart in the third, losing 2-6.

“For some reason, I had problems with my serve,” Nadal said in the post-match interview. “I don’t understand why, because I was not having problems in the practices at all. But today, was one of those days that my serve was a disaster. “When you face great player like him and you don’t play well, you should lose. That’s easy to analyse,” he concluded.
