Rafael Nadal survives Goffin scare to set up potential Carlos Alcaraz Madrid quarter-final
Rafael Nadal advanced to the last-eight in Madrid by the skin of his teeth with a 6-3 5-7 7-6(9) win over David Goffin in the third-round after three hours and 10 minutes. It was just the second match of his comeback and and he held match points in the second set after less than 90 minutes of the match, before being dragged into a third where he was forced to save match points in the tiebreak. He will now face either Cam Norrie or Carlos Alcaraz in what could be a battle of the Spaniards on home soil.
