Nadal and Almagro advance in Barcelona

The King of Clay starts his title defence in Barcelona in style dropping only 6 games. 

It took only 88 minutes for Rafa to defeat the Argentine. “The conditions today weren’t comfortable,” said Rafa. “There was a very changeable wind that made it difficult to play at a high level. The most important thing is to accept the situation and move forward.”

Rafa will play the R16 against Paire that has defeated Andujar 6-45-7 6-3. This will be the first time these two will play each other.
