Ehh, Nadal should still win RG. Rafa usually drops one of Madrid/Rome before the French Open to take the pressure off of himself.

So here's the tennis #1 spot!
— Glutton (@LucerneBest) May 11, 2018
Nadal : oh, go on Roger you have
Federer : nah, you have it
Nadal : what about we each have a go at it few times a year
Federer : sure, how long you think we should be swapping it for?
Nadal: don't know, next 30years?
So, to become world number 1, one needs to not play, Nadal at IW and Miami, Fed at Madrid @CoffeeBreakTens @TennisTalkDaily 😬

Nadal lost to Thiem, Dhoni dropped a catch that cost his team the match. It was really an awful day. Need to forget.
— Sunny (@OnestlyBrutal) May 11, 2018
The Nadal forehand was off today, Thiem played fab.

But not such a bad thing for Rafa to lose a set/match ahead of French, to lessen the streak questions.
And it's not like he hasnt lost during the French Open buildup in other years (Madrid, and its conditons, included).
Thiem at his best. Rafa far from it. Not an ideal combination lol.

Thiem. ‘My attitude made the difference. In Monte Carlo I got killed, but today I stepped on the court to win’

Madrid done and dusted. Toni Nadal has said a few times that Madrid isn't really a good prep tournament for RG. Thin air, different conditions.

World No. 7 @ThiemDomi becomes 1st player since himself to win a set from Rafael Nadal on clay, taking 1st set of #MMOpen QF 7-5. Nadal's consecutive sets streak ends at 30 overall and 50 on clay. His last set and match lost on clay was to Thiem in 2017 @InteBNLdItalia QF.

Nadal. "Special conditions. The balls flies more here, I almost never controled the points all match. My feeling wasn't good".
— José Morgado (@josemorgado) May 11, 2018
Lot of credit to Dominic Thiem. Beating Nadal. On clay. In Spain. With that inside-out forehand....@rolandgarros Just got more interesting
— Jon Wertheim (@jon_wertheim) May 11, 2018
With @ThiemDomi's upset of Rafael Nadal at #MMOpen, @RogerFederer will return to No. 1 in #ATP Rankings on 14 May for 5th stint and 309th week. Nadal would reclaim World No. 1 on 21 May if he wins his 8th @InteBNLdItalia title.
— ATP Media Info (@ATPMediaInfo) May 11, 2018
Nadal on Thiem: ‘Three weeks ago I beat him 6-0 6-2. This week he’s been a very tough opponent. If he beats me three times in a row maybe we can say he’s a tougher opponent for me.’
— George Bellshaw (@BellshawGeorge) May 11, 2018
Nadal. "This is not a drama. I won 50 consecutive sets on this surface. Now I lost. I'm not gonna do a lot of things different because of this"
— José Morgado (@josemorgado) May 11, 2018
Q: "Rafa, how are you going to Rome after this match?"
— René Denfeld (@Renestance) May 11, 2018
Nadal: "On a plane"
So damn deadpan. #MMOPEN
Dominic Thiem end Rafael Nadal’s winning streak on clay, beats the Spanish 7-5, 6-3 to reach the semifinals in Madrid. Wow! pic.twitter.com/IJWGSfcYAT

Having won 50 straight, Rafael Nadal loses a set on clay for the first time in 51 weeks, and doubles down by losing the match 7-5, 6-3 to Dominic Thiem in the Madrid QFs.
