Rafael Nadal beat Britain's Cameron Norrie 6-4 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals of the Swedish Open in Bastad. Nadal is having an amazing week in Sweden where he is also in the semi-finals of the men's doubles with Casper Ruud. The 22-time Grand Slam champion is preparing for the Olympics in Paris, where tennis will be held at Roland Garros, the venue where Nadal has won 14 French open titles.
With the forehand I am quite happy, and the serve too.' How Nadal won the matchThe opening six games of the match went to serve, with both players striking through the ball solidly. However, Nadal capitalised on two unforced forehand errors from Norrie to get the first break and went 4-3 up in the first set. Norrie failed to take two chances to break back at 5-4, so Nadal served out the first set.
