2016 Barcelona Open R2 Rafael Nadal def. Marcel Granollers 6/3 6/2

Translation by Genny SS:

Rafa in interview w/Corretja says it was a tough day to play 'cause the wind was moving/braking the ball.He's failed some shots 'cause of it.
Rafa also says Marcel's started very aggressive w/his BH, which is quite flat & difficult to read& hence he's tried to go for Marcel's FH as it produces shots w/more spin. It's been very important to break back immediately. Alex tells him that in his view he's hit the ball well even more so for a R2. Rafa says that he's coming from hitting the ball well in MC. He was aware Marcel had made very good 3 matches in MC.
In summary, he's happy with the way he's played a very good match in tough conditions.
