Round 2: David beats Massu 7-6(0), 6-1

Today, David won his second singles match in Beijing (after crashing out in doubles with Guillermo Canas in the first round). By now, he's the only Argentine left in the draw.
David took out Nicolas Massu, who won the Olympic singles title four years ago in Athens.
At 5-4, David served for the first set but got broken to level the score at 5-5. The set eventually went to a tiebreaker which David dominated completely, winning it 7-0.
After that, he was in control of the match, served better, and won the second set easily 6-1.

David's next opponent is Gael Monfils (Wednesday, fourth match on Centre Court).

David looks relaxed in these shots. Nice to see. It might fire him up, being the last Argentinian left.

Although, of course, Del Potro is doing Argentina proud away from the Olympics.
