Rampant Nadal barrels through Berdych to reach Open quarters
Rampant Rafael Nadal continued to scatter Australian Open rivals Sunday, barrelling past former world number four Tomas Berdych 6-0, 6-1, 7-6 (7/4) to tear into the quarter-finals.
The Spanish second seed is yet to drop a set and blasted out of the blocks to win nine games in a row against the Czech. He then brutally kept his foot on the throat to win in 2hr 5min minutes on Rod Laver Arena. Next in the firing line is 21-year-old unseeded American Frances Tiafoe.
