This Wednesday night at 7:00pm (local time) Rafa Nadal will step on court to play his first round match of the Cincinnati Master Series against frenchman Florent Serra. The last time these two have played a match together was in January at the Australian Open, which Rafa won 6-0, 6-2 y 6-2..

This year's draw proved to be a flash-back to last year's. Hypothetically speaking, it is very likely he will meet David Ferrer in the quarterfinals and Novak Djokovic in the semifinals 

Rafa arrived in Ohio this Monday and was quick to admit that he's feeling a bit tired from all the matches he's played this season and that he's not exactly looking forward to the time he will spend outside of the tournament as 'there is practically nothing to do around here, there is only a shopping center, which can be boring.... The golf course is the only thing that saves me"...said Rafa.
