Nadal cruises into quarters

RAFAEL Nadal continued his perfect start to the European claycourt season by easing past fellow Spaniard Albert Montanes 6-2, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open yesterday. Nadal is looking to equal Argentine legend Guillermo Vilas’s record of 49 claycourt tournament wins and capture a ninth title in the Catalan capital having claimed the Monte Carlo Masters last week. Nadal will face a much tougher test next against Italian 12th seed Fabio Fognini, who overcame Serbia’s Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-2.
