The locals did not remember seeing such a traffic jam on the main street that serves Bastad, a Swedish town of a few thousand souls. The Rafael Nadal effect has disrupted the routine of this small town located on the seaside and reached at the end of a long descent that winds through the forest. The tone is set from this approach, between a poster of the Spaniard planted at the side of the road and the overcast sky that merges with the sea in the distance. The rain that is looming on this chilly morning has surprised Nadal several times since he set down his suitcases in the area, during his training sessions and from his first match, in doubles, interrupted twice on Monday.
