Rafael Nadal emerged victorious in his match against Dmitry Tursunov today. The Spaniard bested the Russian 6-3 6-3. Nadal's train rolls on into the round of 16 after 78 minutes of play. On the bright side for Tursunov, he did keep the Spaniard on the court for over 70 minutes, which is quite a feat when playing Nadal of late.
It was an impressive and convincing win for the Spaniard, who will play David Nalbandian in the next round. Nalbandian beat Victor Troicki 6-4 6-2 today. Currently, Nalbandian leads Nadal 2-0 in their head-to-head matchup. Both victories came on hardcourts in 2007 at Masters events in Paris and Madrid. Since Nadal has improved dramatically on hard surfaces, this matchup should be an exciting one.
