Rafael Nadal will meet Dudi Sela in Round 3 of the Australian Open tonight at 00:00 (UK).
The Australian Open is already past the first two rounds and round three gets started tonight at midnight in the UK. The action thus far has been some of the best tennis to have been seen all-time with games exceeding all expectations. The world's best players continue to impress and the young guns are proving to be quite exciting to watch.
Who's Got the Advantage?
Rafael Nadal breezed by his first two opponents, proving that he is again in form and could easily wind up in the Aussie Open Final. Nadal is hitting the ball well and is once again a lightning bolt on the hard court leaving his opponents shaking their heads in dismay as the Spaniard hits winner after winner. That's not to say that his last match was a pushover, in fact, Tim Smyczek took Nadal to five sets but ultimately Rafa was too good for the young American.
Dudi Sela is an Israeli tennis star. He is now ranked 106 in the world and is no stranger in playing the top ranked players in the world. Sela surprised everyone when he beat Likas Rosol, the 28 ranked player in the world in four sets, but now faces the toughest game he will likely play in Australia against Nadal. Dudi Sela is an interesting player to watch. When on his game he can prove a lot to handle for any player in the world.
It could be the night for the Israeli star to shine, but more than posing a slight problem for Nadal, Rafa has this game locked up. Expect Nadal to win this match in the end but not before Sela takes him to his limit.
