Am I the only person on the planet who noticed that Nadal took the tape off his knees a long time ago?

Everyone is writing things like this is a new thing for the French Open.

It isn't. Not even close.

This was Rome.

Monte Carlo.

In Madrid during the final with Federer.

This was Barcelona:

In Miami and Indian Wells, he did.

 In Australia, doesn't look like it there, but  he did, though often not in practice.

At Davis Cup, he did.

In Rotterdam, only on the left knee. Or not at all. And sometimes on both knees.

In Doha, yes.

Seems he let the tape go for the clay-court season. Hard to know why.
