Someone Is Looking Pretty Darn Good

Rafael Nadal put on a clinic in this second round match on Wednesday. The unfortunate recipient of this instruction was Slovakian up-and-comer Lukas Lacko. The Spaniard ran through his match and defeated Lacko 6-2 6-2 6-2 after 1 hour and 51 minutes of play.

The world no. 2 is beginning to look like the Nadal of old. His movement and shot making are a lot better. He is beginning to win points he really should not have, which is bad news for the rest of the tour. There is still some room for improvement, for him, so it should be interesting to see if he can peak at the right time.

Next up for the Mallorcan slugger will be 27-seed Philipp Kohlschreiber. Nadal currently leads their head-to-head matchup 4-0.
