Nadal Sets All-Spanish Showdown
In the third round, Nadal will square off against friend Feliciano Lopez. Though he’s defeated his compatriot in six of their eight meetings, he knows Lopez has the ability to play superior tennis. “I know it’s going to be a difficult match because he has a very good serve, good volley, and he's very dangerous... but if I play well I’ll have my chances.”

World number one Rafael Nadal had no such troubles, however, as he reached the third round with a 6-4 6-4 win over Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Nadal, who has not won a title since October, looked in control thoughout the clash and served out to love after one hour and 48 minutes.
"It was one of those first rounds you don't want to see," said the Spaniard. "I'm very happy about how I played today - I was at a high level tonight.
"The feeling was better than last week, so that's important. The serve worked very well at the end of the match."
