'Nadal intimidation factor in the locker room is massive' - Wilander

A fired up Rafael Nadal conceded just seven games as he swept Marcos Giron aside in their first round encounter. With no Novak Djokovic to worry about, the Spaniard will be looking at this tournament as his greatest opportunity to win the Australian Open for only the second time. He goes up against Yannick Hanfmann, with the German through to the second round of a Grand Slam for the first time. Hanfmann will come into this match full of confidence, after knocking out Adelaide 2 champion Thanasi Kokkinakis .

POTENTIAL UPSET – Brengle vs Osaka

Defending champion Naomi Osaka will need to improve on her first round performance level if she’s to make it through to round three unscathed. The 24-year-old won 6-3 6-3 against Camila Osorio last time out, but showed moments of worry when facing break points, and was broken when serving for the opening set first time around. Osaka now faces the more experienced Madison Brengle, who will look to exploit any weaknesses in her game. The American progressed past Dayana Yastremska in the first round.

The Chinese player fought past Aliaksandra Sanovich in a third set tie break to seal her progress in the competition. Sakkari also faced a battle, being taken to a second set tie break by Germany’s Tatjana Maria.
