Nadal beats Hanfmann in straight sets, eases into 3rd round of Australian Open
Rafael Nadal has eased into the third round of the Australian Open, after beating German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann in straight sets.
Hanfmann went toe-to-toe with Nadal in the beginning, as they hit a 2-all tiebreak, before the 2009 Champion broke the German’s serve twice to take the first set 6-2.
Hanfmann could not find himself ahead in the second set, and went on to lose it 6-3. However, he showed more resilience in the final set, but Nadal did not even have to move into top gear to get the job done, as he won it 6-4.
With Roger Federer and World No.1 Novak Djokovic absent from the tournament, the Spaniard is the only former Champion remaining in the men’s draw, who is on course for a Men’s record of 21 Grand Slam titles.
