The 38th-ranked Dodig beat Nadal at the hard-court tournament in Montreal two years ago. But Nadal is looking like the king of hard courts these days, with an 18-match winning streak on the surface.
"I am winning because I am playing well from the baseline and I am making the right decisions in the right moments," Nadal said.
