After taking back-to-back titles in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, six-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal likes where his playing level is. "When you win two important tournaments like Monte Carlo and Barcelona without losing a set, it's because of one reason: you’re tennis is responding."
Nadal also re-stated his disagreement with the decision of Madrid tournament owner Ion Tiriac to color the clay courts blue this season. "I spoke with (Novak) Djokovic and (Andy) Murray and they aren’t very happy either," he said. "I've told you I do not think it's the right decision, especially to put it in the middle of the clay season."
