Murray Looking Strong; plays Chela in Second round

Andy Murray dispatched Stepanek with a score 6-4 6-1. I expected this to be a very very tight match. But, Murry plyed aggressive and he was too much to handle for Stepanek.

That’s bad news for Nadal Nadal is seeded to play Murray in third round (probably this match will be scheduled for Thursday). Nadal-Murray at AO this year was a great match. Murray had his chances… but, couldn’t play the key points well enough. And, Nadal has been out of action for almost a month and half. So, if he is playing with rust… well, we are in for a surprise in third round.
