First set: Nadal 2-0 Dellien* (*denotes server): This is my first ever look at Dellien and he’s easy to warm to. Not the tallest player, but strong and compact, gets into his work speedily and hits through his forehand with plenty of zing. He advances to 40-15 with no little help from Nadal, who goes long with a couple of forehands, but the world No 1 fights back to deuce by keeping the ball alive long enough to induce errors.

Dellien comes out on top of the next long rally, hitting the outside of the baseline right in Nadal’s forehand corner. The excellence of that winner is quickly undermined by a double fault.

Nadal ups the ante to force an early break point but Dellien works hard to defend it. The 19-time grand slam champion forces another soon afterwards though, displaying beautiful movement across the baseline to keep ball after ball in play, driving Dellien to distraction. He repeats the trick to secure the break, hammering an emphatic forehand winner. Rafa is rolling.

Right, time for me to handover to Scott Heinrich.
