After the encounter, Rafa commented

“I played a solid match and served well until the break. It’s great to be in the third round without losing a set. I’m just trying to go day by day. I’m taking it easy, trying to enjoy every moment. This tournament is so special.”

 

 

Next vs. Khachanov

Nadal will play big hitter Karen Khachanov in a tricky 3rd round. They have never played each other so far, but the Spaniard needs to be careful.
