Rafa faced American rank outsider at #116 - Ryan Sweeting - today in his second round match ... and made very short work of him winning 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.
I haven't seen any of the match, but it seemed a very one sided affair, although Rafa went walkabout for a game in the second set and lost his serve, but to no effect. Speaking of the serve, reports I've read are stating that Rafa's was on fire today. Great stuff. It does, of course, affect his first serve percentage, but that's a stat worth reducing due to the extra bite he now puts on it. He faces local "hero", Aussie Bernard "Bad Boy" Tomic in the next round.
I have to say I'm loving some of the sports photography from this tournie. Below is an example of some alternative tennis shots. Great stuff.
