Nicolas Almagro, David Ferrer and Juan Carlos Ferrero saw the crash from the stands
Rafael Nadal debuted at the 1000 Shanghai Masters with a victory in two rounds over Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. The Spaniard, who for the time the second round matches in which was located last year in this scenario, you will need to check on Thursday to Florian Mayer.
After his final defeat to Andy Murray Tokyo, Rafa Nadal needed to reconnect with the victory. The world No. 2 won on his debut in Shanghai Guillermo Garcia-Lopez by an aggregate score of 6-3 and 6-2 after one hour and forty-five minutes of play in a clash played at the Qi Zhong Tennis Central Stadium. The first set reminded at times the last duel between them, William´s victory in the semifinals in Bangkok 2010 (the only win of manchego before the shooting), as far as break balls wasted by Rafa is concerned. In Thailand, the marked statistical February 1, 26, in the first act in China was 1 of 9. Although successful with the service (only gave up five points on serve in the first act), to solve Nadal took the rest to marathon games despite the facilities that showed `Willy´ by way of unforced errors (23) and double faults (6). The Manacor got the long awaited break in the fourth game and thereafter displayed a good tennis, dropping his searing backhand and unleashing a right under acceleration that makes the difference greatly in this type of rugs. No problem to manage the income, the pupil of Francis Roig (Toni Nadal is absent from the Asian tour) scored the first set in his locker.
William advised in Shanghai by Antonio Martínez Cascales (coach Juan Carlos Ferrero) found no alternatives that go around the game. Neither feelings or results. At times they hid behind the lights of the runway and the pressure of the balls, but the `should´ was in its regularity. Nadal broke again the service of his rival in the third game, but conceded a contrabreak when releasing the throttle. With a new break got back into positive dinñamica and took advantage of the game of `all out´ of Manchego to finish putting the lace to match. Number 66 is the victory of the year for Nadal.
With this victory, Rafa sealed his move to second round of Shanghai, round which was eliminated last year by Jurgen Melzer. In this edition, the first seeded opponent will box German Florian Mayer, who beat David Nalbandian in the second round. Nadal and Mayer have only once seen the faces at the end of a Future in Gran Canaria in 2002, the Spanish victory in straight sets (7-6, 6-4).
