The Spanish, in this way, continues without losing any set in this first Grand Slam of the year.

After beating Laslo Djere and Michael Mmoah in previous rounds, Nadal fulfilled the mission against Norrie, despite the fact that the Briton fought and at times disturbed the Mallorcan, who had to work hard to take especially the first and third sets.

Beyond the victory, the other good news for Nadal was that he resisted well physically, after the back problems that he has admitted and that worried him in previous days
