Australian Open - Second Round
2 Rafael Nadal d Tommy Haas - 64 63 64
In five career ATP meetings Tommy has never taken a set off of Rafa.
But in the strip-off contest me thinks Rafa came in second yesterday.
This is Rafa's 8th trip to the Aussie Open & 8th time to the 3rd round: 6-1.
He'll next face (Q) Lukas Lacko - you can book Rafa's spot in the 4th R now.
Back to Tommy... Remember he's a 3-time Sf-ist here: '99, '02 & '07.
The former #2 is currently #190 - winning a round will boost that a bit.
This was Tommy's 11th Aussie Open - W/L: 26-11.
Tommy will retire knowing that this was easily his best Slam.
Good on ya, mate.
