The Spanish, 17-year old, Rafael Nadal continues unstoppably in Wimbledon and is already in the 3rd round, after beating Englishman Lee Childs 6-2, 6-4 and 6-3. Bad luck ran to Magui Serna who was dismissed from the tournament by Slovenian Maja Matevzic.
In only an hour and 53 minutes, Nadal, the youngest player in the main draw, ended the combat with his rival. The encounter was interrupted for 40 minutes by rain when Childs broke Nadal in the 3rd set and was up 3-2. The reaction of the Spaniard was forceful after the delay because he won 4 consecutive games.
After defeating Croatian Mario Ancic in the first round, Nadal continues ahead without losing a set. His next rival will be Paradorn Srichaphan. On her part, Magui Serna left the London tournament in the 2nd round, beaten by Slovenian Maja Matevzic 4-6, 6-3, and 6-4. Serna, quarterfinalist in 2000, went to an advantage of 3-1 in the 3rd set and broke, but couldn't save it.
The rain interrupted the match at 4-4 in the last set, but after 40 minutes of interruption, the Spaniard lost her service in the continuation and Matevzic held to win the match.
