Doha ATP 250 - 1st Round
1 Rafel Nadal d Karol Beck - 63 60
And we're off folks - the Rafa/Roger show began in fine fashion today.
Rafa is also into the 2nd round of the doubles with pal Marc Lopez.
Rafa next plays Lukas Lacko next - H2H: 1-0/RN.
Their only match was at the Aussie Open last year. Lacko won 6 games.
Rafa did seem annoyed today with a problem with his foot.
But he never called the trainer so let's just assume all is well.

As he explained in his presser, he was annoyed with slight fever he had last night and he was heard coughing in some video clips.
It seems he got it from cavorting with Federer, who was having nasal and hoarse voice for days.
