Rafael Nadal eases into Wimbledon last-16 for 10th time
Rafael Nadal reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the 10th time on Saturday with a straight-sets victory over Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. Second seed Nadal, the champion in 2008 and 2010, swept to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 win. The 36-year-old had required back-to-back four-setters to make the third round and was expected to be tested by Sonego who made the fourth round last year. However, Nadal didn't face a break point until he dropped serve in the eighth game of the third set, his focus possibly affected by a stoppage to close the Centre Court roof. He quickly broke back and sealed the victory.
