On his opponent’s strengths, Rafa had this to say in his press conference: “He has a big talent. He has a good serve. He’s able to play with very good control from the baseline. He has a very good talent on where you going to hit the ball. He’s a good player to start the tournament. To be through in that first round is because I’m ready to compete well.”
We wish you the best of luck, Rafa. May you win this title and make history once again! Vamos!

Rafa is set to start his first round match on day 2 of the Open against Aussie Bernard Tomic. Time and live stream information for the match can be found here. […]
