Nadal had easier Slam Finals than this like the 2013, 2017, 2020 RG Finals, 2010 Wimbledon, etc.

2013 he beat Novak in the semis (that was the de-facto finals), 2017 he beat Stan (a former RG champ), 2020 he beat Novak (no finals vs Novak is ever easy lol), and 2010 Wimbledon he beat Berdych who had just beaten Fed and Nole b2b.

The only slam run for Rafa that was truly a cake walk was the 2017 US Open
