Rafa & Novak Make Positive Starts

Both players came though in straight sets, Rafa beat Nieminen 6-4, 6-3 and Novak beat Seppi 6-1, 6-4.

I was not able to watch bar a 20 minutes of Novak but reading the reports it seems that Rafa had the easy day of the two.

Rafa showed no signs of knee trouble but Novak was pushed in the 2nd set.

Next up for Rafa is Kukushkin after he beat Volandi in 3. Dolgopolov is the next test for Novak due to his win over Tomic in 3.
