Nadal cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over the mistake-prone 16-year-old Blanch on Thursday, April 25.

Apr 26, 2024 02:01 AM

Blanch, playing only in his second ATP tour match, made 27 unforced errors. Nadal never faced a break point and was in control from the start against the wild-card entry, closing the match in just over one hour at the Caja Magica center court in the Spanish capital. Nadal had arrived in Madrid saying he was not 100% fit, and that he was only going to play because the clay-court tournament was at home.
