ATP Tour: Impressive Nadal Rallies Past Norrie To Reach Quarters At Bastad
Impressive Rafael Nadal: Spanish former World No.1 Rafael Nadal came up with his most complete performance of the 2024 season, storming into the quarterfinals of the Nordea Open here on Thursday. Nadal, returning to action since losing to Alexander Zverev in the French Open first round, defeated fifth seed Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4 to reach his second ATP Tour quarterfinal of the season.
After clinching the only break of a tight first set, Nadal rallied from 1-4 down in the second to pull through a tough second-round test at the clay ATP 250.
Although the Spaniard had shown glimpses of his imperious best during his previous 13 tour-level matches in 2024, Thursday’s showing against fellow lefty Norrie was arguably his most consistent. A rock-solid Nadal wore down the Briton to complete a one-hour, 43-minute triumph.
