Rafael Nadal eases into fourth round with straight sets victory over Andrey Kuznetsov

Time was of the essence for the Spaniard as he dispatched his Russian opponent 6-1 6-4 6-2.

Few players in the world have to look after their bodies like Nadal and throughout the game it was clear that the Spaniard wanted to spend as little time on the court as possible, so in order to put the minimal amount of strain on his body.

The first set made it seem as if Nadal would get his wish, as he breezed through 6-1 but Kuznetsov fought back more in the second, with Nadal having to settle for a 6-4 win.

However Nadal did not face too many problems in the third and final set and despite a few unforced errors along the way, the world No.4 sailed into the fourth round.

The highlight of the final set came in a magnificent penultimate point, with Nadal landing an outrageous tweener lob before serving out the win.

The Spaniard will face Frenchman Lucas Pouille, who produced a bit of an upset to get past Nadal's compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut in five sets.
