Last up on Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday it's Rafael Nadal against Michael Mmoh.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-6 NADAL: Imperious display from Rafael Nadal, under two hours to dismantle Michael Mmoh, and that's with the interruption from the heckling fan.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-5 NADAL: Just over half an hour gone in the third set and Nadal gets an insurance break. Amazing strokes from him.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-4 NADAL: Nadal is pushing Mmoh further and further back behind the baseline here. Wonderful hold as the Spaniard is enjoying himself.

Michael Mmoh is just laughing in disbelief. What can you do?

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-3 NADAL: Mmoh double-faults to hand Nadal break points, and a tremendous cross-court shot leaves the American stuck at the net and powerless.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-2 NADAL: A 23-shot rally concludes with Nadal stepping in and painting the line exquisitely to hold serve.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 2-1 NADAL: Good stuff from Mmoh, saving break points by sending Nadal right into the corner. Valuable hold.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 1-1 NADAL: The commentators are wondering whether Nadal's trying to protect his back at all during this match, mixing up the amount of power he's generating. He's not showing too many signs of trouble, it has to be said.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6, 1-0 NADAL: Mmoh's rhythm is disrupted by a broken string, but he gathers himself and hits a beautiful forehand on the move.

MMOH 1-6, 4-6 NADAL: Absolute scenes here as a fan is shouting at Nadal as he goes into his service motion. The umpire scolds her and she promptly makes an obscene gesture towards the camera. Nadal serves an ace. Then she starts shouting again, and the security guards head towards her to chuck her out. Nadal is laughing so hard, it's bizarre. And then he serves another ace to get three set points - and another ace to finish it off.

MMOH 1-6, 4-5 NADAL: The physio is waiting for the chance to come on the court to treat Mmoh, who's complaining about something to do with his hand, possibly a blister.

MMOH 1-6, 3-5 NADAL: Another great hold from Nadal, who's flying through his service games.

MMOH 1-6, 3-4 NADAL: An absolute biff of an ace right down Nadal's throat to take it to game point, but Mmoh comes in too far, too quickly, allowing the Spaniard to level at deuce. The American hangs on, though, and his camp give him extra applause.

MMOH 1-6, 2-4 NADAL: A good hold from Nadal again who's looking pretty much unbreakable.

MMOH 1-6, 2-3 NADAL: Loose hitting from Mmoh, and you just can't do that against Nadal, he'll rip apart any sign of weakness.

MMOH 1-6, 2-2 NADAL: Brilliant mixing it up from Nadal, and Mmoh is left wrongfooted.

MMOH 1-6, 2-1 NADAL: Mmoh serves up a couple of faults but recovers. He's sending those serves down at 200kmph. You wouldn't want to get in the way of those.

MMOH 1-6, 1-1 NADAL: Good to see all the usual Nadal habits present and correct.

MMOH 1-6, 1-0 NADAL: A nice supportive cheer for Michael Mmoh as he hits a couple of good backhands to hold his serve.

MMOH 1-6 NADAL: Mmoh nets a return and after another good service game, Nadal wraps up the first set in just 27 minutes.
