Rafa was completely dominant in every department to break his opponent 8 times without dropping his serve. The Spaniard has also conceded only 13 points on 52 on his serve. Match Stats.
Rafa has now an incredible 17-0 record on hard courts this season.
Next vs. Dodig
Rafa will play world no.38 Ivan Dodig in the next round and he seems to be not that happy about that to comment ” I have not a good memory of playing against him in Montreal two years ago. It was a very tough match. He’s had already two great wins over Verdasco and Davydenko. He’s a dangerous player.”
The Spaniard has a 1-1 record against the Croat that has defeated him a couple of years ago in Montreal. Rafa is still the hot favourite to get to the 4th round.
