This is the most flat-out dominant play I've seen from Nadal in a long time. Even Federer's form during his 17-match winning streak pales in comparison to this.

It's 2018 and Federer + Nadal continue to dominate tennis, with del Potro and Isner winning big as well. Where is the next generation? Cilic, Dimitrov, Harrison, Zverev, Kyrgios, Thiem, Goffin, Sock... None of them have risen to the challenge.

- No. 3 seed Dimitrov loses early again. For all his talent, he continues to struggle with inconsistency. He should have beaten Raonic on this surface.

- del Potro is back, and looks to be in good form.

- WTF has happened to Jack Sock? He's flat-out awful.

The streak is over! Thiem takes down Nadal in straight-sets (7-5, 6-3). Federer will return to World No. 1 after Madrid. Nadal must now win Rome to get the #1 ranking back.

Oh, and whoever bet on Thiem probably made a killing.

Thiem's win here was very similar to his win over Nadal at Rome last year. He smashed the crap out of the ball at every opportunity, used his legs to chase down everything, and played completely error-free when on the defensive. The go-for-broke strategy that very rarely succeeds, but is amazing to watch when it does.

Thiem, along with Zverev, has a very bright future on clay.

Kvitova won Madrid on the womens side. I was trying to find it on TV, but neither Tennis Channel, ESPN/ESPN+, or BeinHD were showing it so I don't know who was broadcasting it.

Really nice to see Kvitova playing well again. That robbery and hand injury she suffered robbed her of an entire year.
