Nadal beats Gasquet (6-2, 6-2, 6-3) and measured in Second Round Ferrero Kiefer did the same with Santoro (6-4, 6-3, 6-3), Anabel Medina, eliminated

MADRID .- Chico well, morale is high. Recurrent topic worth the football to assess the first match of Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam tournament since losing to Robin Soderling in the second round at Roland Garros. His flawless debut in the U.S. Open. [Narrative]

Richard Gasquet was little enemy, some detail of the kind that lasts alternatives vain to impose their style and a capitulation that started, if possible, with break granted in the second game of the match, who first touched him serve. Nadal and Nicolas Kiefer awaits a German 32, 129 ranking, which has not consented to a set in four previous meetings, after a quiet afternoon in the Arthur Ashe court, dressed in the new aesthetic to the New York taxi.

The difference between the Spanish and Gasquet is large since the two jumped into the largest circuit. So far, the suggested Beziers much, number one junior in 2002, when he won Roland Garros and U.S. Open, very good-looking, transparent and deep a blow, a service record soon challenged by mental and physical demands of high competition.

The distance between the two was again evident in yesterday meeting. It is true that Gasquet next two months and a half penalty for accidental consumption of cocaine, but it is equally true that Nadal has endured a similar period away from the court by suffering tendinitis in his knees. There are, well, too many extenuating circumstances for the Gaul, now 46th in the world, after flirting among the top ten in 2007 season in which he played semi-finals of Wimbledon and the Masters Cup. Nor too much reason to relativize the most promising start to the four-time champion at Roland Garros.

Nadal, who had also lost conclusively against Djokovic in the semifinals of Cincinnati, is handled with the utmost solvency without the elite through. Gasquet added too many mistakes, either by the risks he was forced to assume, or simply by the lack of consistency from the back of the court. Service firm, which weighed on stocks after some recent games, the confrontation manacorense ruled with supreme authority, true to its DNA sober in the background, powerful right, and a point of aggression is also greater than in recent days.

Gave only ten points on his serve, which did not fail to see a single ball break. The same number of unforced errors, multiplied by four by Gasquet. One statistic, an imprint that hints at good news for the foreseeable future. More than enough baggage to travel with panache by the first week, no insurmountable borders until at least some hypothetical second round against Gael Monfils. The roof is autoexige, quarter or semifinals, without compromise, pokes at your fingertips.

The now world number three appointments required consideration of what it was against Djokovic, rub again with his class, with whom he has had little opportunity to meet after the 73 days off. Gasquet dignify it left details, some reverse house brand applauded for his rival, and how did anyone ever doubt.

It should be much more to intimidate a young man who looks in New York the only major missing from his resume. Apparently in his first game, and without any excesses to conclusions, Nadal is very serious.

Ferrero, no problems before Santoro The Spanish tennis player Juan Carlos Ferrero confirmed his presence in the second round of U.S. Open, the fourth and final big season after winning its opening Frenchman Fabrice Santoro in a crash that was always on his side.

The of Onteniente, who won 6-4, 6-3 and 6-3, showed that through a great run of form and that its recovery with the title in Casablanca and the turning point against Germany in the Davis Cup have not fallen on deaf broken. Ferrero, who is sensational from the bottom of the track, was strong from the rest.

On the opposite side, Anabel Medina, who joined the list of Spanish eliminated, falling to the Belgian Kirsten Flipkens 6-1 6-3 in a match that barely exceeded the hour.
