Key Biscayne: Rafa Nadal aka Lemon Drop won a nervy match against David Ferrer 7-6 6-4. In fact, I'm going to start calling Ferrer "Eveready" because the guy always gives his all and never quits, just like the handy little batteries.
The match was tighter than the scoreline suggests. In the end, the deal was sealed by a combination of Rafa eventually pulling the trigger (in one game, Nadal had 5 break points before securing the break) and Ferrer lacking aggression in the latter part of the 2nd set. Some of Rafa's ground strokes were unbelievably short, even he seemed relieved to scramble away with the points.
But, a wins a win, especially after tonight's other disappointment - see below post...Man U, still annoyed..
On another note, how much do you love Nike's Lemon Zest outfit Nadal is sporting in Miami? It's bright, positive, perfect. Stick to those tangy and citrus flavours, Rafa. You're juicy, kid; own it.
