Nadal Says Forehand Needs to Improve
Rafael Nadal
says that he was satisfied with his first-round victory over
Denis Istomin
on Day 1, but the Spaniard adds that his forehand is still a sticking point. Hard to imagine that Nadal can improve on the forehand he hit to break Istomin in the sixth game of the third set, but 14-time Grand Slam champions tend to be perfectionists.

Delpo and the Return of the Backhand Slice?
“My serve worked well almost all the time,” Nadal said on Monday after defeating Istomin to set up a second-round clash with
Andreas Seppi
of Italy. “I am hitting very well the backhand, but it's true that the forehand I need time. I need confidence and I need to keep practicing the forehand, no?”
Nadal, who had a 73-day hiatus due to a torn wrist tendon, returned for the Olympic Games and won the gold in doubles while reaching the semifinals in singles.
“Is not easy to go two months-and-a-half out of competition in the middle of the season without hitting a forehand,” he said. “I need to have the confidence again with my wrist. That is coming, because I feel the wrist much better, and every day feel that the wrist a little bit better. That's very important thing for me.”
