PARIS - Rafael Nadal anticipates a stiffer challenge at the French Open on Friday after strolling through the first two rounds while top seed Simona Halep faces a rematch with Amanda Anisimova, the American teenager who knocked her out of last year's tournament.
"It's a good thing. I know in the next round more is going to be asked of me and I need to be ready for that." The Romanian is riding a career-best 16-match winning streak but is well aware of the threat posed by her upcoming opponent. "I remember the match from last year, I remember also that I didn't play what I wanted, so I will do some changes and I will just try to play better and to take my chance.""I'm very happy with my game in the first two rounds," Thiem, the runner-up to Nadal in Paris the past two years.
She will next play Russian 27th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, who has never been beyond round three at a major.
