tomic is tough at home. I think he will keep rafa busy for a while.
this may not be a straights sets deal for rafa.
Maybe for a set and half really. It's going to be a big deal for Tomic to take Nadal out in front of the homecrowd. I'd take Hewitt in the first round a much bigger deal and that's not the case.
And Rafa has had enough match practice just prior - won Abeu-Dhabi etc. Looks to be in great form.
