TIL Desk Sports/ Rafael Nadal on Monday prevailed over Joao Sousa with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 win to extend his victory record at Wimbledon to 52 matches, one more than the legendary Bjorn Borg. World No. 2 Nadal took an hour and 45 minutes to reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the seventh time in his career as a pro.
Following the traditional Sunday rest day, Nadal returned to the central court to show off how speedy his legs were and how effective his service was, which he held successfully, not allowing Sousa to create a single break point in the whole match.
The 33-year-old Spanish star thus extended his head-to-head record against Sousa to 3-0, in which Nadal lost just one set in the 2016 Madrid Masters quarterfinals. “It was a solid match…The second serve didn’t work as well as two days ago (against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga), but the rest was very positive,” third seed Nadal said after the match.
