The driver in the circuit beat Martin Klizan (Slovakia) with 6:0, 7:5 for 1:45. Nadal was close to losing a set of clay for the first time this season, but he saved three sets of balls.

Last year, the King of the Clay lost a total of four sets during the Clay season, with two of them at his only loss - from Dominic Team to the quarterfinals in Rome
The ten-time champion in the Catalunya capital did not give a set to his opponent in the first set. In the second part Klijan made a break from the start and had a lead to 5:4. He served on the set and had three sets of play but lost his bet. Nadal then won the next two games via sport live stream and with the games.
He strives for the 11th Barcelona, 55th red and 77th overall for his career to match with another legend John McEnroe (USA). In a dispute over a place in the final Nadal will play tomorrow against the winner of the match between number 4 David Goffen (Belgium) and number 8 Roberto Bautista Agut (Spain).
