He got there in 3 sets, phew. Final score 7-6, 7-6, 6-3.
According to a few reports (I missed the end) it was a good workout for Rafa. The main talking point today has been the vast improvement to his serve. He hit a few in the 130mph zone which is virtually unheard of from Rafa.
It was so good to see as his serving in Toronto and Cincy was poor and of course we learnt that he was holding back due to fear of another abdo injury that hurt his chances last year.
Next up is Denis Istomin who has shown some good form lately, final at New Haven. I am sure that if Rafa plays and serves like last night it will be another 3 set victory.
