Although fifth-seed Nadal split his previous two matches against Mahut, he took the career head-to-head lead behind a consistent service performance on Tuesday. The Frenchman failed to earn a single break throughout the match, which allowed Nadal to win in straight sets even though he broke Mahut just once.
