What we knew: Nadal's game plan against Roger Federer is to hit the ball to his backhand.
What we learned: Nadal's game plan against Federer is to hit every ball to his backhand. "That's the plan. It's not a complicated plan," he writes.
What we knew: There are exceptions to every rule, like 8-7 in the fifth set of the 2008 Wimbledon final, when Nadal served a winner to Federer's forehand to set up match point.
What we learned: It was inspiration. Writes Nadal: "Here I had the brilliant idea -- it was, in retrospect, quite brilliant -- of hitting my first serve wide to his forehand, when he had to be expecting that at a clutch moment like this I'd stick to the backhand route I'd followed practically the entire match."
What we knew: At the moment, Nadal doesn't seem to have a game plan against Novak Djokovic.
What we learned: He doesn't have one. "With Federer, the rule is always to keep patiently plugging away, knowing you'll force him sooner or later to mistakes. With Djokovic, there is no clear tactical plan. It is simply a question of playing at your very best, with maximum intensity and aggression," Nadal writes. "But there is one thing. If you make him receive the ball at shoulder height, you make him uncomfortable, you make him guess, put him off his stride."
What we knew: After defeating Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last year, Nadal implied his box had told him where to serve on match point, telling El Pais, "They told me to serve wide and that's where I served."
What we learned: Nadal repeats this suggestion, writing that he looked at his box for support and "served wide to the forehand as instructed," but doesn't elaborate.
What we knew: His prematch routines and jumping around come across as stalling and gamesmanship.
What we learned: Even his friends wonder what it is all about. "I don't think he would ever admit it, and I've never asked him about it, but I do believe he does deliberately intimidate rivals," says fellow Mallorcan and mentor Carlos Moya.
