Rafael Nadal continues to look comfortable on the Olympic stage, as he knocked off Andreas Seppi 6-3, 6-3 on Tuesday to advance to the third round in Rio de Janeiro.
The 2016 Summer Olympics mark Nadal's first tournament action since he was forced to withdraw from the French Open due to a wrist injury. He breezed by Federico Delbonis in the first round and fared well against Seppi.
Even though Nadal entered the Olympics ranked fifth in the ATP standings, top stars have not had an easy time in Rio so far. Novak Djokovic lost his first singles match, and Venus and Serena Williams lost their first doubles match after winning gold at the previous two Olympics.
