Live on British Eurosport: Fri 00.00: Nalbandian is out but Rafa Nadal cruises through; Roger Federer faces Xavier Malisse tonight in Rd 3.
Rafa Nadal has been trimmed in a touch after Round 2, he is into 7/4 at bodog in reaction to Roger Federer’s near-upset yesterday; the Swiss master is also 7/4 at Paddy Power. Federer is just 1/25 at Sportingbet to beat Malisse and 2/5 (Skybet) to win 3-0.
More minor seeds fell last night; Feliciano Lopez (31), Michael Llodra (22) and David Nalbandian (27) all succumbed.
In the women’s, former number 1 Jankovic went out to Peng and Kirilenko fell to Benesova.
Kim Clijsters is still the 7/4 fav at Totesport and Na Li remains an interesting bet at 22/1 with Stan James.
