MELBOURNE, Australia — Rafael Nadal was awake at 1 a.m., engrossed in Roger Federer's third-round match at the Australian Open.
For Nadal, the key was to keep things simple. He hadn't lost to a fellow Spaniard since his first-round shocker here against Fernando Verdasco in 2016. That was the only time since 2006 that he hasn't reached the quarterfinals or better at Melbourne Park, where he won the title in 2009 and has reached four finals since.
“It’s true that when the conditions are a little bit warmer, the bounces are a bit higher, the ball is flying, it helps my game," Nadal said. “Today I did very well with my serve — I started to hit some very good forehands down the line. That’s a key shot for me." “Both players are great players. Nick always is excited to play here at home. Karen is a player with great potential,” he said. “I’m going to enjoy watching.”
Kerber had 6-2, 6-7 , 6-3 win over Camila Giorgi. In a later news conference, she almost laughed when asked if nervousness was contagious in the locker room when the top players start exiting.
