Nadal Beats Sousa, Breaks Borg’s Wimbledon Record

Rafael Nadal on Monday beat Joao Sousa with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 win to expand his triumph record at Wimbledon to 52 matches, one more than the incredible Bjorn Borg.

World No. 2 Nadal took an hour and 45 minutes to achieve the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the seventh time in his profession as a star.

Following the customary Sunday rest day, Nadal came back to the central court to show off how rapid his legs were and how powerful his administration was, which he held effectively, not enabling Sousa to make a solitary break point in the entire match, Efe news detailed.

The 33-year-old Spanish star along these lines stretched out his no holds barred record against Sousa to 3-0, in which Nadal lost only one set in the 2016 Madrid Masters quarterfinals.

"It was a strong match. The second serve didn't fill in just like two days prior (against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga), however, the rest was sure," third seed Nadal said after the match.

"I'm glad to be the place I am, the body is holding admirably and I'm playing some great tennis," he included.

It turned into the Spaniard's 70th in general win on grass, and the 36th this season on all surfaces.

Swiss tennis symbol Roger Federer is required to rise to the Spaniard's record this season on the off chance that he crushes Matteo Berrettini of Italy later in the day.

In the quarterfinal, Nadal is pending the victor of the all-American duel pitting Sam Querrey against Tennys Sandgren.

The Spaniard has a 4-1 no holds barred triumph record against Querrey, yet it would be their first meeting on grass. Nadal has never played Sandgren.

Querrey's possibly prevail upon Nadal came when he staggered the Spaniard in the last of the 2017 Mexico Open.

Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut made it to the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 prevail upon Frenchman Benoit Paire. Next up, Bautista will confront either Guido Pella of Argentina or Canada's Milos Raonic.
