–

Bastad has Nadal – which of course is an absolute win across the board.

But look at some of the quarterfinals in the lower-key Gstaad event: Tsitsipas vs. Fognini. And Auger-Aliassime vs. Matteo Berrettini.

These were top-shelf encounters – especially as well as 37-year-old Fognini had been playing of late – and far beyond what these post-Wimbledon clay events are used to seeing.

That said, the challenge for Nadal against an up-and-coming claycourter in Mariano Navone gave him another signpost with which to gauge his form ahead of the Olympics. The uptake: he can last four hours, but how will he rock up tomorrow?
