It was tough. NADAL

Even if Rafa won in straight sets, he conceded that it wasn’t easy to comment

“The conditions were tricky, very windy, and Horacio is a tough opponent who has a style that suits clay. He serves well, creates great angles. He has been feeling better and better.”

The final vs. Thiem

Rafa will try to win his 10^th Barcelona title on Sunday, but he needs to overcome a great hurdle: Dominik Thiem. The Austrian has upset Andy Murray in the semi-final after he defeated the Briton 6-2 3-6 6-4.

The head to head is 2-1 for Rafa that has recently defeated Thiem in the 3^rd round in Monte Carlo.
