ATP 250 Halle - Second Round
1 Rafael Nadal d Lukas Lacko - 75 61
2 Roger Federer d Florian Mayer - 64 75
Rafa - no rest for the weary as he makes the transition from clay to grass.
Remember: Only 3 days ago he won his 7th Roland Garros title.
Only once has he gone from the RG title to winning the Wimbledon tune-up.
That was at Queen's Club in '08. He also went on to win Wimby that year.
***
Roger is a 5-time champ at Halle: '03-'06 & '08.
If we're being honest tho most of the big guns always play at Queens Club.
He'll next face a tough one in Raonic - H2H: 2-0/RF.
Remember: Milos came within a point of beating him last time they played.
***
If Rafa & Roger were to meet in the final it would be match #29.
Their H2H is 18-10 in Rafa's favor but Roger won the last match at IW.
After Rafa's RG title he also moved ahead of Rog in Facebook fans.
But he's tops in Halle - look, they even named a street for him:
