Rafael Nadal (2nd in the world) had no difficulty beating the American Michael Mmoh (177th and from qualifying) 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in 1h47, Thursday in the 2nd round of the Open d 'Australia.
The Spaniard did not show any physical weakness on the court after suffering from back pain for two weeks.
He was just briefly disturbed by a noisy spectator who was evacuated while, placed in his line of sight, she amused herself by giving him fingers of honor.
A fan just gave Rafa the finger.
Look at his reaction: “what, me?

"I don't know her and, honestly, I don't want to know her," he commented with a smile.
During the incident, he also had fun, asking the spectator if she had been drinking.
In the third round, he will face the Briton Cameron Norrie (69th), who dominated the Russian Roman Safiullin (183rd and from the qualifications), in four sets 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7 / 3).
