The Madrileano and Spain's local hero ...

Rafa gained a bye into the quarter-finals of the Madrid Masters today as his scheduled opponent - Philip Kohlschreiber - "decided not to play".

"It's a good thing in a way, but we would have prefered to play and win", said Rafa's uncle and coach Toni Nadal, then he continued, "We will now train for a while, otherwise we will have a very difficult match tomorrow."

Rafa will face Fernado Verdasco who came out a 7-5, 6-2 winner over Juan Monaco. Lets hope its a good match, but not the 5 set nail-biter the two of them went through in Melbourne. A great Friday night out for the locals though!
