2017 Mutua Madrid Open R2 Rafael Nadal bt. Fabio Fognini  7/6(3) 3/6 6/4

Next opponent - Nick Kyrgios

“I think that even though I played really badly, my attitude and the will to win today's match was there. My level of tennis was not so high today, but I managed to make it through. It was uncomfortable. I think before it wasn't so windy, but when I started playing, it was a really awful day. It was really windy.”

Rafa on Nick Kyrgios:

“He's a very difficult opponent,” said Nadal. “He's one of the most difficult players you can play. It's true that I think on clay he's a very, very tough player… I have to play really well to be able to beat him. I think I'm ready to do that. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I don't know what's going to happen.”
