As for the match, Nadal has cruised into the third round of the Australian Open after defeating Argentina's Federico Delbonis in straight sets.

He expressed how he missed out on a lot of opportunities but ultimately found his rhythm to win the match.

"It was a tough match. I lost a lot of opportunities on breakpoint but found a way to finally win the second set."

"In the third, I was more relaxed, more aggressive and found better play in that set," he added.
