Defending champion Rafael Nadal turns on the power to extinguish threat of Britain’s Cameron Norrie and reach the fourth round at the French Open
- Cameron Norrie was unable to create a stunning upset against Rafael Nadal
- The Brit pushed the 13-time champion, but the Spaniard had too much quality
- The third seed won 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to set up a last-16 match with Jannik Sinner
Rafael Nadal put an end to British singles hopes at the French Open for another year with a straightforward victory over Cameron Norrie in the third round.
It was a third meeting between the pair in 2021, with Nadal having won at the same stage of the Australian Open and on clay in Barcelona, and Norrie again could find no answers in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 defeat.
In that he is in very good company, of course, and Nadal extended his streak of consecutive sets won at Roland Garros to 32 as he chases a 14th title.
