Australian Open Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal - I Played Well From Everywhere Tonight, This Was One Very Good Day!

Rafael Nadal dominated Gael Monfils tonight 61, 62, 63 in the third round at the Australian Open. Monfils, who played Nadal to close earlier this month, was no match for the World No. 1 Spaniard on this day. The only moment of concern for Rafa came early in the second set when he tweaked his ankle, but otherwise it was a picture perfect match against the dangerous Frenchman. Nadal, the 2009 Australian Open champ, now plays Kei Nishikori on Monday in the fourth round as he bids to win a second career Grand Slam.
