Revenge taken !

4 sets needed Rafa to avenge the 2012 match against Rosol. He defeated the Czech player: 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 after 2 hour and 44 minutes of play and reached to 3rd Round.

After the match, Rafa said: "Maybe if I lost that set point in the second set, if that forehand down the line went out, maybe I would be sitting here with a loss. But that's the sport. That forehand was a perfect forehand for that moment. Even if I was losing, I was fighting for every ball. I was fighting mentally, physically."

"Every match is so difficult here. Especially when you play against players that really decide to play every shot at full power. I played a bad game in the 4-4 and I lost the first set. I think until that moment I was playing better than him, but didn't have my chances on the return because he was serving well. I am very happy. It is a very important victory for me. I finished the match playing at a very high level."

In 3rd Round, Rafa will play against Mikhail Kukushkin of Kasakhstan. On head to head, Rafa leads Kukushkin: 2-0. Their last match was in 2012 in Monte-Carlo, where Rafa won in straight sets: 6-1, 6-1.

VAMOS RAFA !!!
