Rafael Nadal beat Nicolas Kiefer 7-6 6-2 6-3 on Saturday to increase his chances of a Wimbledon 2008 victory.
The mighty Spaniard, ranked second in the world, has made it to the fourth round of the Wimbledon 2008 Championships- a task that Djokovic, Davydenko and Roddick could not fulfill.
Nadal had to wait until 6pm GMT to play against the German on Centre Court, the latest start to a Centre Court Match, thus far in Wimbledon 2008.
The Spaniard and the German had a tight first set with Nadal narrowly coming out on top 7-6, but the second set took only 27 minutes to complete. In the third set, Nadal raced to a 5-0 lead, and while Kiefer started a comeback with 3 games, it was not enough to danger the World Number Two, who won the set 6-3.
“I am doing well, only losing one set. From now on, I know that I am going to have a tough time,” Nadal said after completing a highly satisfactory first week.
Rafael Nadal will next face Mikhail Youzhny, from Russia, on Monday at the Wimbledon 2008 Championships.
