Rafa dropped the second set but came out a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 winner in his first round match against Marcus Baghdatis.
This is Rafa's take on the match:-
"I think I didn’t play my best tennis. That’s true. But I improved in the third a lot," continued the champ. "The victory is important for me because, Marcos is a very good opponent, and in a tournament like this, every opponent is very tough. We are playing some of the top 45 players in the world, so every match is going to be very difficult".
Big news of the day was the new kit. Loving the green shirt ... but I think the shorts need to grow on me. Rafa plays James Blake in the next round.
