Rafa's Indian team crushes Philippines Mavericks

December 10, 2015 23:04

Legendary Rafael Nadal was at his energetic best in his two wins as rampaging Indian Aces continued their sparkling run in the International Premier Tennis League with a 30-12 rout of the Philippines Mavervicks, on the opening day of the Indian leg of the event.

Nadal, the 14-time Grand Slam winner, combined with India's Rohan Bopanna to win the men's doubles before closing the contest with a reasonably comfortable win in the men's singles over French opponent Edouard Roger-Vasselin, who is a doubles specialist.

Before that, Bopanna and Sania Mirza started off in brilliant fashion by crushing the Mavericks combo of Treat Huey and Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2.

The mixed doubles Indian pair proved too hot to handle for the visitors. Sania's fierce forehand and calculated serves was a treat to watch for the home fans.

It was Sania's backhand winner when Tomljanovic was serving that sealed the opening set for the defending champions.
