After beating Giron and Hanfmann without too many difficulties, this Friday the Spaniard faces his first ‘mountain’, the first real rival who can measure his condition in real form. It’s Karen Khachanov, a dangerous tennis player even though Nadal overwhelmingly dominated him in the face-to-face (7-0). In fact, the 25-year-old Russian and 30th in the world has only won one set from the Spaniard so far.
