Nadal vs Agassi set for Saturday
Nadal will next face Agassi, who beat Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-4 to extend his run in his 14th and final Wimbledon.
“He’s very confident, great competitor,” Agassi said of Nadal, who has won 60 straight clay-court matches but has never been past the third round on the grass at Wimbledon. “Needless to say, very talented and fit. So it’s going to be a hard match.”
The two have played only once, with Nadal beating Agassi in the final of the Masters Series event in Montreal on hard courts last year.
“It’s a nice match for me, so it’s a nice match for everybody,” Nadal said. “It’s going to be tough.”
