Rafael Nadal cruised past Jack Sock and into the Miami Open semi-finals on Wednesday.
The Spanish 14-time grand-slam champion produced a solid performance
to record a 6-2 6-3 victory in the last-eight clash at the ATP 1000
event.
Nadal, four times a runner-up in Miami, was in decent form to make it three wins in as many meetings with Sock.
Sock, who held an 18-3 win-loss record this year heading into the clash, showed glimpses of his good form.
But the American 13th seed was punished for a slow start, then missed his chances after going up a break in the second set.
Nadal was good enough to advance to the semi-finals, where Italian
Fabio Fognini – a player he has beaten in seven of their 10 matches –
awaits.
