Nadal went down a break in the first set to trail 4-2 but then went on to win six straight games thereafter to take over the set and match.
"I started so-so in the first set, but after that I start to hit very well the forehand and I think I finished playing a very good level," said Rafa, who is coming off of his 6th French Open win and 10th overall Grand Slam win.
"Fantastic," said Nadal about the court and the environment at the All England Club. "Seriously, I never played in a court like this. (It) was a big emotion to be the first player to play in this fabulous court. It was a very, very exciting feeling."
