I don't think you'll see him going to the net on clay, being tough to quickly change direction with the slipperyness and all. he kind of just got suckered into way too many long rallies and almost needed to play an even higher risk game that ends the point quickly one way or another.
at least he remained healthy for the clay swing...everything from this point is fast courts and low bounces so we should see him start padding his ranking points much faster.
in other news, it's good that there's been some upsets in this tourney to keep it interesting, cause it's sooo boring watching the top 2 guys just blitz through the field like they were playing against 6 year olds. maybe cause I'm not a huge fan personally of Djok or Rafa, but c'mon, maybe 5 minutes of tension might be nice once in a while.
