January 20, 2007

Rafael Nadal found top gear on a damp and sultry day at the Australian Open as he battered Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.

Nadal was taken to four long sets by unseeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber in the last round but he overwhelmed Wawrinka, the 31st seed, in just over two hours.
