The second best tennis player on the planet, Rafael Nadal sealed his spot in the third round of the Italian open with a 6-1 6-0 victory over Bosnia’s Damir Dzumhur in Rome.
The tennis maestro, who lost his world number one spot when he ended his 21-match unbeaten run on clay last week, had a first-round pass and will play Denis Shapovalov or Robin Haase next.
The 31-year-old genius, who is aiming for an eighth title in the Italian open, looked to be in top form as he breezed past Dzumhur in just 61 minutes.
If Nadal reestablish his supremacy by lifting the trophy, he will reclaim the world number one ranking from Roger Federer after slipping to second at the start of the week.
