RAFAEL NADAL KING OF TENNIS

2017 Miami Open QF Rafael Nadal bt. Jack Sock  6/2 6/3

Next opponent - Fabio Fognini

“I think I was under control during the whole first set. In the second set, it was so important to save that game at 0-2, 15/40, and then get the break back in the next game,” said Nadal. “It was two positive things in two straight games that probably created a lot of damage to him.”

“I know him (Fognini) very well and he knows me very well. We played a few times and he’s beaten me a couple of times, too. It’s a tough match,” said Nadal. “He’s playing well, so it will be a good challenge. I need to play my best, keep playing aggressively like I did today and hope to have my chances.”
