MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Second-seeded Rafael Nadal maintained his perfect record against Tommy Haas, beating the veteran German 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 Wednesday in a second-round match at the Australian Open.
Nadal earned service breaks in the first and last games of the match to beat
Haas, the oldest player in the men’s singles draw at 33, for the fifth straight
time—and without ever dropping a set.
Rafael Nadal of Spain returns …
The Spanish lefthander went into his match against Haas with
concerns over his right knee—a twisted tendon that he injured while sitting
down awkwardly at his hotel.
With the knee heavily taped Wednesday, he showed no obvious signs of
discomfort to advance to a third-round match against the winner of the Donald
Young-Lukas Lacko match to be played later Wednesday.
