Looking forward to this one Rafas first match since Wimbledon lets see how he gets on id expect him to win easily but Massu on his day is dangerous.

Yeh nadal should win, Massu looked poor when i watched him lose against Murray at wimbledon, but you never know.

Players are warming up!

Number 5 in the world? Davydenko! He's losing 4-1 to Xavier Malisse!

Massu may be but I kind of expect a rollover for Nadal - are you watching the match Ark or just a scoreboard?

Who does everyone want to win?

DF from Nadal and back to Deuce

Still want to see Nadal win it, but I'm glad Massu is not rolling over and giving up, after getting so close to breaking Nadal, only to go down a break in the next game.

Nadal goes just wide with a backhand cross court Adv Massu Bp

2-2!

Inside out forehand winner and Massu does break its 2-2

Nadal isnt at his best here which is to be expected but he will have to dig deep Massu is up for this and we certainly have a match ehre

Clean hitting from Massu and he holds to 30 when Nadal nets an attempted backhand cross court of a massu approach!

Massu leads 3-2

3-3 game on, it would probably be 5-1 if nadal was at his best though.

Solid game by Nadal and he holds to love when Massu goes wide with a forehand

3-3

Agreed Nadal has been sluggish and missing balls he makes when he is in the Zone and been playing you still get a sense though watching this thats its just a matter of time

good agression from Nadal 15-30

Deuce

Nadal domainates rally with forehand and wins with smash

bp

4-3 nadal good break
