Rafael Nadal swept into the Madrid Open quarterfinals on Thursday with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Alexei Popyrin, while Ashleigh Barty booked her spot in the women’s final by ending the run of wildcard Paula Badosa.

A lone break of the Australian’s serve in the second was enough for the 20-time Grand Slam winner to seal the match.More Related News
