Schwartzman kept up well at the beginning of the game, but had to give up nine of the next ten games from 3: 3 in the first set. Nadal mainly dominated the network: Each of his seven network attacks was successful.
He was clearly the dominant player, especially in the short rallies. He didn't allow a single break chance while using three of his four opportunities himself. Nadal made it 7-0 in direct head-to-head.
The next opponent for Nadal is Krajinovic, who surprisingly prevailed against Daniil Medvedev after taking David Goffin out of the tournament in round two.
