Nadal Eases Into French Open Last 16 by davidchuks500(m): 8:32pm On Oct 02, 2020
Rafael Nadal charged into the French Open last 16 on Friday and took another confident stride towards equalling Roger Federer’ s record of 20 major titles.
The 12 -time Roland Garros champion dispatched Italian world number 74 Stefano Travaglia 6 -1, 6 -4, 6-0 in just 95 minutes , notching his 96 th victory at the tournament .
Nadal next faces 213th-ranked American qualifier Sebastian Korda , the son of 1998 Australian Open champion and 1992 French Open runner -up Petr Korda , for a quarter-final spot .
“ I think today I played the best match this year at Roland Garros, ” said Nadal , now 96 -2 at the French Open in his 16 th appearance .
“ I’ m very happy with this victory and I hope to continue like this . I’ m playing quite well and I played more aggressive than in previous days .”
Nadal has yet to drop a set in Paris this week although the combined ranking of his opponents so far is 606, including that of Korda who admitted to naming his cat after the Spaniard .
The 20 -year-old Korda beat Pedro Martinez in straight sets to become the first man outside the top 200 to make the last 16 in Paris since France’s Arnaud di Pasquale in 2002.
