I have no wonder that Nadal early packed off from Washington, his starring entry there was weird and had no purpose.

Probably an attempt to get some confidence on hard courts again. Winning a small tournament before the North American hard court season really gets going probably would help that.

I don’t think Nadal “packed it in”. I didn’t watch the entirety of either match, but from what I saw, it seemed like the same Nadal we’ve gotten for the past year: some quality games here and there and definitely fighting but clusters of unforced errors in bad times and too much defensive play.

Nadal was warming up after a long break from RG and American hardcourt season is starting so why not.

Nadal just didn’t have enough intensity and Harris was really just playing best tennis of his life.

I would be more inclined to buy this if Nadal wasn’t struggling as he has been, especially on hard courts. He has yet to get to a hard court final since returning post Covid break. And he’s been wildly up and down in perhaps most of the matches he’s played post the French of 2020. A big part of Nadal’s success has been maintaining intensity throughout matches and playing at least solid in crunch times. That has been wavering. It’s very reminiscent of the second half of 2014 through 2015 Nadal. He can still get it back, but he is older now.

His foot is bothering him again, more than usual, since it's something that's always been there. In a way it's symbolic since he started his career with a scare that the foot issue will destroy him, and now it seems to be back at the end.....
