Rafael Nadal Reaches Bastad Open Semi-Finals After Four-Hour Marathon

Rafael Nadal fought into the semi-finals of the Bastad Open on Friday as he defeated Argentina's Mariano Navone 6-7 (2/7), 7-5, 7-5 in three hours and 59 minutes. The 22-time Grand Slam champion is through to the last four of a tournament for the first time since Wimbledon two years ago.

"For moments he was in control. For moments I was in control. At the end, no one was in control. That's the truth," added Nadal.
