Well, well. Look who won another match at the Australian Open earlier today: Spain's hunky Rafael Nadal! Tennis hasn't had this sexy a player since the days of Patrick Rafter. But like Rafter, Nadal is also a champion and he survived a relentless challenge from Britain's Andy Murray, rallying twice from a set down to advance to the Australian Open quarterfinals.
Murray's withering serve, winners from the baseline and crisp volleys repeatedly had Nadal off-balance. But the super-fit Spaniard had more left at the end of the four-hour match than the slender, 19-year-old Murray, winning 6-7 (3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
"It was very, very, very tough," Nadal said. "He is playing at an unbelievable level. All the time I was trying my best, trying to fight for every point. I needed one match like this against a big player."
