Top-seeded Rafael Nadal was in action on Wednesday at the 2013 Paris Masters, and the Spaniard faced a stiff test from the game Marcel Granollers while earning a 7-5, 7-5 victory. 

Granollers used a quality first serve to keep things close with the world No. 1. It wasn't until the 11th game of each set that Nadal finally earned a break. Granollers hit just 58 percent of his first serves and won only 68 percent of those points, but he took control of points with his serve when he needed to. 

Meanwhile, Nadal's serve also looked fantastic. Attempting to become the first player to win six Masters events in a single season, he drilled 72 percent of his first serves and won 86 percent of his points. 

In other words, he looked just fine. There is no reason to read any signs of weakness into the close score. Next up for Rafa is a third-round battle with Jerzy Janowicz. Check out Nadal's post-match interview:
