Rafael Nadal eases into French Open fourth round

Defending champion Rafael Nadal cruised into the fourth round of the French Open with a straight sets victory over Eduardo Schwank.

Second seed Nadal, who celebrates his 26th birthday on Sunday, won 6-1 6-3 6-4 against Schwank, who is ranked 192nd in the world.

 

“I don't want to think about if I will win Roland Garros”

The Spaniard will face Juan Monaco in the last 16.

Nadal, aiming for a record seventh French Open title, was rarely troubled as he recorded a 48th career victory at Roland Garros, a venue where he has only ever suffered one defeat.
His forehand was far too good for Schwank, particularly in the first set, but the Argentine did make a contest of it in the second and third.
However, Nadal will face a sterner test in the fourth round against Monaco, who came through in five sets against Milos Raonic, 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4.
