Paris, November 10, 2009
Rafa Nadal and countryman Nicolas Almagro will meet in the second round of the BNP Paribas Masters Series tournament in Paris, this afternoon.
Almagro is 0-4 against Rafa in their lifetime series with their most recent match coming from the 3rd round of this year's US Open. Almagro has never taken a set of off Rafael nor has Almagro forced many tiebreakers as the two players have only played one tiebreaker against one another.
«We know each other well and I know he's a very complicated opponent because he likes to hit the ball hard and he also serves real well. I have to take my chances whenever he gives me an opportunity because there won’t be too many of them. It will be a very difficult match, specially given that it will be the first match for me and he's already had more competitive time on court", said Rafa after his doubles match yesterday.
Their match is scheduled third on center court.
DOUBLES: Rafa and ‘Pico’ Monaco didn’t have much luck on Tuesday afternoon after losing a very close first-round doubles encounter (6-4, 5-7, 13-15) against Germany's Christopher Kas and Phillipp Kohlschreiber.
Vamoa Rafa!
