Rafa overcomes Kiefer at Wimbledon
June 28, 2008
Rafael Nadal overcame a tricky first set to book his place in the last 16. Rafa won the first 7-6. Many would have though the match was going to be close but Nadal stepped it up a gear and claimed the second set 6-2. He then won the third set 6-3 to shrug off Nicolas Kiefer’s challenge.
After the match Rafa said…
“Kiefer was a difficult opponent, he has a very good serve. Right now, I’m just happy to be in the fourth round, I’m doing well and have just lost one set (to get to the last 16). Now I know I have a tough opponent and I must focus on my game.”
Rafa will now meet Mikhail Youzhny who won in 5 sets over Radek Stepanek. 7-5, 6-7, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3.
It will be another hard match for Nadal. Nevertheless I certainly won’t be backing against the Spaniard in his quest to win Wimbledon.
