Rafael Nadal up two sets against Fernando Verdasco
It appears that Rafael Nadal is headed for another straight-set win.
After charging out strong and breaking Nadal's serve early, Fernando Verdasco has just looked scared. Nadal won the first set, 7-5, and the second, 6-3.
Verdasco did come back after being down two sets in the previous round, but it's hard to believe he is going to be able to do that against the No. 1 player in the world.
