Rafael Nadal beat the fast track to Dzumhur by 6-1, 6-3 and 6-1. The speed with which the game ended was already revealed when he jumped on the track and, without wanting to, hit the chairman's tablet with the bag and ended up on the floor.
Rafael Nadal, who landed on January 4 in Melbourne without knowing what his performance would be in the first 'Grand Slam' of the year, is already in the second round of the tournament and, without giving up a single set. "I'm where I wanted to be, I came here without playing training sets and I'm in the second round of Australia, which is always good news for me," he said.Nadal saw from the barrier how some of his teammates were exposed to compete this Friday with temperatures that reached 40 degrees. "It's been hard conditions and sometimes it's too much, it's not nice to see players suffering on the track but there are worse places like in Rio, which, in addition to the heat, is humidity."The Spanish will be measured by a position in the quarters with Diego Schwartzman: "It is very complete and if I do not play at my best level I will not win."
Nick Kyrgios got rid of Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga by 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (6) and 7-6 (5) in one of the most even matches of the day at the Australian Open .With 28 aces scored by each , the Australian scored the victory in the third tie-break of the game. Despite going 2-5 down, he rallied to take the fourth heat and pass to the next round before the look in the stands of Will Smith actor.
Kyrgios will now face Grigor Dimitrov, semifinalist in 2017 at the Australian Open and current winner of the Masters Cup. A few weeks ago they saw the faces in Brisbane where the Australian managed to beat the Bulgarian for the first time in his third direct match.
Djokovic vs Ramos
The Spanish will have a challenge before the former world number 1. Ramos has reached the third round after winning his two matches without receiving a set (3-0 against Donaldson and Smyczek). The Serbian has not suffered too much, although in the second round Monfils did a set. The face-to-face between both is dominated by Djokovic 4-0.
Gasquet vs Federer
The top seed to take the Australian Open is at a high level. The Frenchman has only beaten the Swiss in two of 19 matches. Will Gasquet make the first set of the tournament to Federer?
Berdych vs Del Potro
Duel equaled between two ranking classics. The Argentine is living his second youth and already warned in the US Open stepping on semifinals. The Czech made semifinals in 2014 and 2015 in Melbourne. His direct duels favor the South American (6-3) who is favorite in the bets.
Kerber vs Sharapova
The German Kerber is the fourth favorite to take the Australian Open, while the Russian seeks to regain her level in a tournament that has been champion once and finalist in three others. The balance between the two on a hard court is 2-1 for Sharapova.
