Congrats to Rafa for taking down his good friend and 1st round opponent, Richard Gasquet, Wednesday at the US Open. This match was a bit of a question mark in the press since Rafa has been sidelined with injury and Gasquet has been out under a cocaine suspension. When the actual match got under way, however, it was clear that Rafa was back in top form, while Gasquet still had a lot of rust to shake off. In the end it was a quick match; 6-2 6-2 6-3 in Rafa's favor.
"I felt well out there," Rafa said. "I served very well in the important moments and my backhand was very good today. My forehand was good at the start and then I made a few mistakes, but it doesn't matter. I am very happy to be in the second round."
Next up is Nicholas Kiefer. Destroy him, Rafa! Vamos!
