Wimbledon Men's 1st round :
Rafael Nadal (ESP , 1 ) beat Kei Nishikori (JPN) 6-2, 6-4, 6-4
Next opponent: Haase.
It was fine when Rafael Nadal came on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Tuesday. It was fine when he left after winning in three sets spring . Kei Nishikori , proud and young Japanese, has produced a tennis fun to watch but not dense enough to heckle a few more games the world No.1 .
Nadal , who worried a little for his body at Queen 's, has decided to come to Wimbledon, where he had played since his victory in 2008, without too many games in the legs . This was not seen. Tonic on its bottom line , more and more efficient service . He has also recorded eight aces in total with 70 % of first serves .
Without giving the impression of force , against a player with lightweight but strong , who can take the ball early, but lacks power , Nadal took the opponent's service five times out of 13 break points. It started as early as the first set, Nishikori has conducted 40 / 0 before wasting a total of 8 balls and lose commitment. Nadal then patiently waited until the second set to pick Nishikori , who in the process, lost his service from the first game of the third .
In the next round , Nadal will play against Dutchman Robin Haase , great server , distant to the ATP , but has always appreciated the grass . The Spaniard will have to work on his recovery .
