Here is a genuflect to Veglia. I have trouble digesting this contest and the possible answer is already there. Deep powers of observation as I saw many highlights but did not notice this Rafa oddity.

Haven't seen Nadal's 2018 matches often enough...but have an impression he now violates the 25 sec rule less than earlier...or not?

Not complete an official event before the start of the clay season. Retired from AO, withdrew from Acapulco, and then MC was next. Played DC but that is not an official event.

Correct answer: Not needing many matches to regain top form after a break.
