Rafael Nadal Cruises Into Third Round at Australian Open

Filed under: Australian Open, ATP

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal cruised by Ryan Sweeting 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 to advance into the third round of the Australian Open Thursday. After the match, Nadal noted in an on-court interview that he feels recovered from the illness he suffered from in Qatar two weeks ago.

Nadal, who dominated the match from the get-go, is only five victories away from holding all four major titles and claiming the Rafa Slam. The Spaniard has only dropped four games in his first two matches at Melbourne Park. With his titles at last year's French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open, Nadal has now won 23 consecutive Grand Slam singles matches.
