Rafael Nadal Knocks off David Ferrer in Straight Sets



Determined to avenge his semifinal loss to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in Paris last weekend, Rafael Nadal set the tone early in his opening Group A matchup with the world No. 3. 

Rafa took advantage of some sloppy play from Ferrer in the opening set and capitalized on each of his three opportunities to break. After just over 30 minutes, Nadal had built a one set to love advantage thanks to a ridiculous 19 unforced errors from Ferrer, per tennis writer James Peeling:



But Nadal would prefer to point out that he went 3-of-3 on break-point chances in the first set, per TennisTV on Twitter:



Ferrer's lackluster play would carry over into the second set, where he quickly found himself trailing. After breaking Ferrer in the second game to go up 2-0, Nadal was officially in cruise control.

The top seed appeared to be as locked-in as ever at 5-0 in the second set, but watched helplessly as Ferrer briefly seized momentum to pull within three games. The back-to-back games were all the No. 3 seed could muster, though, as Nadal broke serve for a sixth time in the match to prevail.
