The five-times former winner, defending champion and top seed was taken all the way by giant American John Isner in a sensational first round match on Tuesday before winning in five sets.

And against the 48-ranked Andujar, Nadal once again, at times, looked vulnerable, especially on his own serve which he has been working on improving over the last year.

Earlier, Andy Murray and Robin Soderling scored straight set wins in second round action.

Soderling defeated Albert Ramos of Spain 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, while Murray, who is seeded to play the Spaniard in the semi-finals, defeated Simone Bolleli of Italy 7-6, (7/3), 6-4, 7-5.
