Defending champion Rafael Nadal cruised into the fourth round of the French Open with a straight sets victory over Eduardo Schwank.
Second seed Nadal, who celebrates his 26th birthday on Sunday, won 6-1 6-3 6-4 against Schwank, who is ranked 192nd in the world.
The No.2 seed will now face the winner of Monaco/Raonic, with Juan having just broken to lead 2-1!
Earlier Rafa shared the info about how he'll be celebrating his 26th birthday this year
Nadal has made a habit of celebrating at Roland Garros, and it's not just because his June 3 birthday falls during the French Open
This year, he is focused is so squarely on winning a record seventh French Open that he couldn't even remember exactly when he will turn 26.
"When is my birthday?" Nadal said Thursday after being asked if he had anything special planned. "I don't know the day."
When you play on clay like Nadal, the only date to remember is the day of the French Open final, and that's exactly a week later this year.
"Difficult to celebrate ... when you are in the middle of the tournament, but sure, I'm going to go for dinner with the team," Nadal said. "I don't know if some family going to come. I don't know yet."
