Day four of the Australian Open tennis at Melbourne but day one for us as we caught up with world number one Rafael Nadal.He reached the third round with a convincing 6-2 6-3 6-2 victory over Croatia's Roko Karanusic in one hour and 37 minutes at the Rod Laver Arena - the Centre Court.
Bookmakers have made Andy Murray favourite at 3-1 just ahead of Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. I reckon Murray can win it but 3-1 is skinny.
In the women's, Australia's Samantha Stosur, better known as a doubles player, looked quite good as she eased past Germany's Sabine Lisicki 6-3 6-4. Interesting day's tennis but not many surprises.
The shock exit of Venus Williams came at the Thursday night session when our tickets were no longer valid, but we saw the game on TV.
