Seventh-seeded Hubert Hurkacz breezed to a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Rafael Nadal in the second round of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia on Saturday in Rome.Hurkacz saved five break points during the opening game and all seven he faced in the 93-minute match. The 27-year-old Poland native finished with nine aces to upend the 22-time Grand Slam champion and 10-time winner in Rome."I'm definitely really proud of myself," Hurkacz said. "Playing Rafa is something special.
"Another is accept how I am today and work the proper way to try to be in a different way in two weeks."The decision, as you can imagine, is not clear in my mind today. But if I have to say what's my feeling and if my mind is closer one way or the other way, I'm going to say be in Roland Garros and try my best. Physically I have some issues, but not probably yet enough to say not playing in the most important event of my tennis career.
