2019 Madrid Open R3 Rafael Nadal bt. Frances Tiafoe  6-3 6-4

Next opponent - Stan Wawrinka

“I’m very happy. It’s an important result against a tough opponent. As I said yesterday, he already won against Basilashvili and Kohlschreiber, so he came to this match with good confidence and winning against two great players on clay. It was a tough match. I think I did a lot of things well tonight, so I’m happy with the performance and excited to be through.” 

On Wawrinka:

“It’s a tough one. He’s one of the best players in the world. He likes to play in these conditions, fast, altitude, big serve, big shots. It’s in this kind of match that I need to play my best. I need to add something else, and I hope to be ready to make that happen.”
