Rafael Nadal Through to Second Round of Rio Open

Top seed Nadal's opening game of the tournament was interrupted by rain and, with strong winds continuing once it cleared, his 6-1 6-4 win over fellow Spaniard Carreno was met with a sense of relief.
Carreno's service game proved to be his downfall and he was broken to love to fall into a 2-0 hole in what turned out to be a one-sided opening set.
