Nadal through to quarters in Doha

Rafael Nadal has won his match over an inspired opponent by the name of Lukas Lacko. The Slovakian played an amazing game, really taking the fight to Nadal and pulling out some incredible shots, seemingly from nowhere (no puns, please). The Spaniard even got served his first bagel set of the season, and (as far as I can remember) his tenth bagel set ever. 

The powerful Spaniard bounced back to win quite comfortably in the third set.

So the world numbers 1 and 2 got severely tested today, both winning through in the end. I’m not sure how I feel about their chances individually, but it’s Rafa and Rog, they always manage to pull it out.
