The match in Brisbane against Karatsev was not finished; the Russian dropped out of the match due to injury with the score 4:6, 7:6. Kubler served five times with one double fault, won 63% of his points on his first serve, and 48% on his second serve.
Rafael Nadal
Nadal started the tournament in Brisbane with a very solid win over Dominic Thiem. The match against the Austrian lasted an hour and a half, and Nadal won in two games 7:5, 6:1. During the game, Nadal had three aces and one double fault, winning 90% of points on his first and 80% on his second serve. We did not expect such a spurt from Nadal, who has not been seen on the court for almost a year. However, the match against Thiem, not the most convenient opponent for the Spaniard, showed that Rafael was in good shape.
Expert Betting Tips
Nadal played his first match of the season at a high level. At the same time, Kubler got through to the next round mainly thanks to Karatsev's elimination from the tournament because it could well have happened that the second set in the match would have been the turning point in the game between the Australian and the Russian. In this pairing, we are on the side of the Spaniard; it is obvious that Nadal is preparing for the Australian Open; it is not a fact that he will put all his strength into winning in Brisbane, but Rafa needs practice, which means at least a couple more matches played at the current tournament.
