Seeded number 1 in the World tennis standings Rafael Nadal surmounted fatigue as he managed to beat Santiago Giraldo with a final score of 6-4 6-4 before reaching the round 2 of the Japan Open tennis tournament.

The top ATP tour player, Spaniard Nadal, has earlier succeeded in winning 3 out of 4 grand slam tennis tournaments throughout this ATP 2010 calendar; swinging his customized Nadal Tennis Racket earned him a win in 1 hour and 50 minutes onto the tennis court of Tokyo city.

Seeded number 2 in the ATP rankings, Andy Roddick, slammed into the 2^nd round after out-scoring the Japanese wildcard Tatsuma Ito by a final tennis result of 6-4 6-3… Roddick has just played his 1^st tennis match since his early elimination from the US Open.

Rafael Nadal, who was earlier beaten in the semi-finals of the Thailand Open tennis tournament this weekend, mastered some vicious tennis swinging when needed most. Furthermore, Nadal had to get out of the gap repeatedly when he was in charge of sending the tennis serves.

After the tennis match, Nadal made it clear for the Japan Open tennis media that it "wasn't part of the strategy for sure." The Spanish tennis athlete added to the tennis Live reporters that his “serve was the worst it's been for my last 11 or 12 matches."

Nadal's harsh pressure from the tennis baseline had earned him a break in the 5^th tennis match of the 1^st set when the low-performing Giraldo wasted a tennis backhand into the net.

Tackling the tennis court with his funky Nike tennis outfit, a lime green tennis shirt included, Nadal was able to break at the same stage of the 2^nd set, sending Giraldo wide before jumping in for smashing a mid-court tennis ball into the far corner.

Referring to the ATP tennis stats, Nadal has won 6 titles this year while crafting a tennis tour record of 62-8 in the ATP results… the Spaniard is closing in on swinging his tennis rackets versus Canada’s Milos Raonic.

Nadal resumed the interview with the Japan Open Live media by stating that "the beginning is not easy. I arrived from Bangkok 2 days ago at 7 in the morning so I'm a little more tired than usual. I have to play with more energy in my next match."

Andy Roddick managed to complete an easy win in 82 minutes after demonstrating 10 fast tennis aces. The American, seeded 10^th in the tennis world rankings, told that "It felt pretty much like I expected it would coming off a long layoff. Since New York I've been working on getting back into physical shape and I feel like I've been able to do that. I missed a third of last year post-US Open with a knee injury so this year it's all bonus for me."

Roddick V Jeremy Chardy will mark the next tennis match of the Japan Open 2^nd round.
