Nadal undergoes checks for dizziness at Rome Masters

ROME, May 10 (Reuters) World number two Rafael Nadal has undergone medical checks after feeling dizzy at the Rome Masters, the player's spokesman said today.

Nadal, who has won the claycourt tournament the past two years running, complained of feeling dizzy before and during Wednesday's second-round victory over Daniele Bracciali.

''He saw the ATP doctor this morning, but it's nothing serious,'' said Benito Barbadillo, before adding that it was unlikely to prevent the 20-year-old Spaniard taking part in his last 16 match against 15th seed Mikhail Youzhny later today.

Nadal, who was won his last 73 matches on clay, is aiming to win his third successive Rome title and equal Thomas Muster's Open Era record of three Rome titles.
