Leo delivered some pretty nice groundies, but it was Nadal who, once again, prevailed. Rafael Nadal didn’t break much of a sweat in taking down Richard Gasquet in straight sets on Saturday, but that’s okay. Enter ball kid Leo. The young man was introduced by Marion Bartoli during Nadal’s post-match interview and Nadal said he’d be happy to have a hit with the young lad.
