Rafa stepped forward in Cincy !

One hour and 16 minutes needed Rafa to win the 2nd round match against Benjamin Becker of Germany in straight sets: 6-2, 6-2.

After the match, Rafa said: "When you change cities, change a little bit of weather, the feelings on the ball is different. The speed of the court is not exactly the same. It's a little bit slower here than in Montreal. And when you have these kind of tournaments back to back it's not easy, but I'm very happy with the way I played this afternoon and the way that I adapted the game."

In 3rd round, Rafa will play against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria. On head to head, Rafa leads Dimitrov: 2-0. Their last match was this year in Monte-Carlo, where Rafa won in 3 sets: 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.



VAMOS RAFA !!!
