ATP Beijing – Nadal and Djokovic cruise into second round

The 2013 US Open finalists (Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic) were in action today at Beijing and both collect an easy win.


Djokovic was the first to get on court against Lukas Rosol and was trying to repeat this year’s success at Miami where Nole defeated Rosol 6 – 1 6 – 0. The Serbian started even better this match claiming the first set 6 – 0, losing only two points on serve.  Rosol raised his game level on the second set and had two break point chances, however Djokovic saved both and a break of serve was enough for the World No. 1 to book place in next stage.


Nadal aims for World No. 1 spot and to keep his unbeatable record on Hard Court this season (Rafa won all 22 games on Hard Court this year). The Spanish faced Santiago Giraldo and was looking for sixth win over the Colombian player. Despite losing his serve twice, Nadal didn’t have much trouble to take this match. The Mallorca’s player dismissed Giraldo 6 – 2 6 – 4 and kept his outstanding record on Hard Court
