Rafael Nadal beats Tommy Haas as Roger Federer receives a walkover

Nadal won the Australian Open in 2009

Second seed Rafael Nadal dispelled fears about his physical condition with a 6-4 6-3 6-4 win against Tommy Haas in round two of the Australian Open.

Nadal injured his right knee before the tournament but after his win he said: "I'm very happy about how it improves, I'm able to play without a problem."
Roger Federer also advanced with a walkover after his opponent Andreas Beck withdrew with a back problem.
But eighth seed Mardy Fish was upset in straight sets by Alejandro Falla.
The American number one went down 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 7-6 (8-6) as Falla set up a meeting with Philipp Kohlschreiber.
Fish fell at the same stage in 2010 and 2011, while Columbia's Falla is into round three for the second year running.

There he will face Kohlschreiber, a fellow unseeded player, who advanced when Pere Riba retired while trailing 6-0 4-0.
Next up for Nadal, meanwhile, is Donald Young or Lukas Lacko. They contest the third match on Court Six.
"The last couple of years I've had physical problems here," stated Nadal, the champion in 2009 and a quarter-finalist in 2010 and 2011.
"But it's always very exciting to be back here, thanks for supporting me. It's an honour to play on this court [Rod Laver Arena]."
Federer's progress was confirmed when Beck pulled out with a lower back complaint ahead of their encounter on Hisense Arena.
It would have been the first time in 52 matches - a sequence stretching back to 2004 - that Federer had not played on Rod Laver Arena.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion will face Ivo Karlovic or Carlos Berlocq on Friday for a place in the fourth round.
"I would have loved to have played," said Federer. "I'm sorry to the fans, I was ready to go - I had a warm-up hit and was focused.
"I will rest up, hit intensely [on Wednesday] and get ready for my match."
Seventh seed Tomas Berdych saved the only break point he faced en route to a 6-1 6-1 7-6 (7-4) victory over Olivier Rochus.
It takes him to a third-round meeting with 30th seed Kevin Anderson, the South African coming beating Sergiy Stakhovsky 3-6 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.
Joining them in the third round is 11th seed Juan Martin del Potro - who outclassed Blaz Kavcic 6-4 7-5 6-3 - and his next opponent is Yen-Hsun Lu, a 7-5 6-2 6-2 winner against Florent Serra.
The first evening match on Rod Laver Arena sees home favourite Bernard Tomic go up against American Sam Querrey.
