He raised a match point and now it's up Baghdatis
Rafa Nadal is still not convincing in the moments before his big event of the year: the U.S. Open. Yesterday I beat the number 32 of the ATP, the Frenchman Julien Benneteau in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters 1.OOO 5-7, 7-6 (8 / 6), 6-2.
In Spanish it took a world entering the game with a very aggressive Benneteau in the first two sets. The Frenchman served without problems, while the Spanish saw a with his ordeal. After lifting a ball game at 6-5 in the tie-break, the cramps began in French, and had to conclude the match to the limit of his strength.
Rafa, who is still adapting to the hardness of the cement on the American circuit and assumes that still has "great improvement" in the face of what to expect within a week, will be in the next round with Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, who beat Tomas Berdych 7-5, 6-4.
On the other hand, Roger Federer does not hit the track with an injured shoulder Kohlsreiber and Andy Murray Nalbandian beat without complications.
