Barcelona Open: Nadal fights back to beat qualifier Ivashka
Over tennis news, Rafael Nadal has kicked off his campaign at the Barcelona Open with a jittery win after fighting back from a set down to defeat Belarus qualifier Ilya Ivashka.
The 34-year-old Spaniard dropped the first set 3-6 against the world 111. However, he raised his game, roaring back to claim the next two sets 6-2 and 6-4.
Nadal is chasing his 12th Barcelona title after suffering a surprise quarter-final exit in the Monte Carlo Masters last week. He will now face Japan's Kei Nishikori, the 2014 and 2015 Barcelona champion, in the last 16.
