Rafael Nadal has a great performance against Dominic Thiem in the Monte Carlo quarters. The Spanish legend had to recover from 1 break down in both the 1st and the second set to win 7-5 6-3 after 2 hours and 3 minutes.
The key of the match was that Rafa has managed to defend 15 break points of 16 in the 1st set.
The quarter vs. Wawrinka
Rafa will play an in-form Wawrinka in the quarters. The Swiss has exterminated home favorite Gilles Simon in the third round 6-1 6-2.
The head to head between Rafa and Stan is 14-3 for the Spaniard, but Wawrinka has won 3 of their last 5 encounters and he has won their last match in on clay (Rome 2015). Stan should be the favorite to get to the semi.
