Rafael Nadal struggled in his first grass-court match of the season but managed to get the job done during second-round action at the Mercedes Cup on Thursday.
Had it not been for an untimely foot injury sustained by Nick Kyrgios, the Australian youth invasion that is beginning to take the tennis world by storm could have reached an even grander scale at the BNP Paribas Open. Even with Kyrgios unable to finish off a potential upset of Grigor Dimitrov, however, the Aussies are still making waves.
Lleyton Hewitt does not plan on retiring until 2016, but a scaled-down schedule this season means it's up to the young guns to carry the proverbial Australian flag for a while

When Rafael Nadal comes out of a funk, he really comes out of a funk! Hard to believe he could still lose the #3 ranking to Kei Nishikori. Of course, if he keeps playing like this, he won't lose it. He leaves Kevin Anderson still at #15.
The fourth round of the Australian Open gets underway on Sunday and a blockbuster men's singles lineup features Rafael Nadal vs. Kevin Anderson and Tomas Berdych vs. Bernard Tomic.

It was a day that will not soon be forgotten Down Under. Six Aussie men advanced to the second round on day one at the Australian Open, and four did it in five sets. One way or another, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Nick Kyrgios, James Duckworth, Marinko Matosevic, Bernard Tomic, and Sam Groth found the winners' circle on Monday at Melbourne Park.
Snagging one of the 32 seeds at a Grand Slam has its benefits. Most importantly, you cannot meet another seed until at least the third round. Garner a top 24 seed and you're guaranteed to avoid the likes of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal until no earlier than the last 16. A seed does not, however, entirely exempt you from danger.
