ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament
Julien Benneteau upset the fourth-seed Nikolay Davydenko of Russia in straight sets. It seems the Frenchman is fired up this week, so let's hope this continues this year. He moves on to the quarterfinals and awaits the winner of the Monfils-Llodra match.
Rafael Nadal lost the first set to Simone Bolelli. He then proceeded to get down to business and rallied to win last two sets. Nadal will play the young talent, Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria in the second round. This is the Spaniard’s first match since his Australian open win.
