Spent some time in the grandstands watching top-seeded Rafael Nadal play. Much like a 1-16 game in the NCAA Tournament, you expect the top-ranked player in this tournament to cruise. Nadal, at least in the earlygoing, did not cruise.
For a few minutes I actually believed Bjorn Phau of Germany had a shot. But then I came back to my senses, and so did Nadal. After pulling out a tense 7-6 first set, he overpowered Phau in the second set and won 6-3. So he's on his way.
No major upsets yet. Too bad. I like upsets.
Arthur Staple will take you through the rest of the day, blogging and writing a Web column. I'm officially passing the baton. See ya tomorrow.
