Straight set win for the Great Man over Benoit Paire. Nick the Greek next in Round 3. That could be tricky if Nick the Greek gets out the right side of the bed.
Nadal a break down against a Russian giraffe in the first set.

Nadal a set down.
The giraffe serving out its skin. 93% first serves in.
Don’t see Rafa coming through this one guys.
Serving is one of the great skills of tennis and important on all surfaces.
What insight
Rafa in huge bother here.
Break down in the 2nd.
Denis Shapovalov (height 6ft 0) has taken the first set 6-4 against Big Kevin Anderson (height 6ft 8).
The lad you called a bum, I believe.
Roof closing.
5-5 in the second set.
Hard fought 5-7 7-5 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) win for Nadal in 4 hours 25 minutes. Khachanov missed his big chance in the 2nd set, he was a break up twice and serving for the second set at 5-4. Ordinarily not ideal for title winning prospects for a 32 year old veteran to be on court for that long in a 3rd round match.
Vital win for Nadal, on paper it’s his toughest opponent on a hard court until the QF.
He seemed to be way off his game last night.

Federer versus Kyrgios on now. If Kyrgios turns up he will win this. Roger seems to be struggling with his game.
1 - 0 Fed
Federer will cruise through to the QFs without dropping a set but Djokovic will flatten him.
