Raducanu doesn't seem to be going after shots she normally would. Is it because she isn't comfortable moving on the clay, sliding etc? The other player seems to go for absolutely everything but Raducanu doesn't go after shots that I'm sure I've seen her go for on hard court and on grass.
I don't think she is playing that badly but her opponent is playing very well
Norrie and Fearnley both in the bottom eighth of the draw. Would’ve normally meant getting Carlos Alcaraz early on but he withdrew and was replaced by a qualifying lucky loser.
If both win their next match they will face each other in the fourth round / last 16.
Fearnley has a good mentality after coming through the USA college program and will continue to go higher. I was surprised that Norrie has a highest ranking of 8 on the ATP rankings back in September '22' as he always looks a tad limited in his all round game. Super fit athlete is Cameron who went to a college in Texas, but no big weapons in his game. He has won nearly 12 million dollars in prize money so not a bad life for a guy who has one Wimbledon Semi final and never further than the 4th round in every other slam.
Jack Draper has hit top 6 in early April and has a USA semi final slam. Still believe Jack's fitness condition needs to improve to win back to back rounds in a slam over possible 5 sets with no major injury set backs. When Jack's first serve percentage is high he is a danger to all players.
Power cut after Fearnley fought back from 6-4 and match point down to get it back to 5-4 down after nearly losing this set 6-2. The players being sent back to the locker room as spider cam stuck too low with this power outage. Suspended on every court bar one ! Madrid is struggling with the technology!

Seems to be a bigger power outage across Spain, wouldn't be surprised to see play suspended for the whole day
This is covering a massive area as traffic lights, card payments and not just the traffic is coming to a standstill in Parts of Spain, Portugal and even reports in France.
Jack Draper wins 6-2 6-2 against the World number 12 Tommy Paul and he is looking so good on Clay despite it being only the 7th competitive match he has played on the clay.
If Jack says fit he can consolidate his position in the World's top 10 and he's looking the real deal.

Doing surprisingly well so far - some valuable ranking points as well.

Dan Evans earlier lost in a clay challenger event in the Czech Republic.
Tiafoe in the last 16 in straight sets.
He finally gets his 1st game on serve at the start of the 2nd set. Jack seems to like clay.
