2016 Mutua Madrid Open QF Rafael Nadal def. Joao Sousa 6/0 4/6 6/3 <br /> <br />Translated by Genny SS: <br /> <br />Rafa in interview w/ Alex says the interruption for the rain hasn't been ideal...the balls were heavier and his shots weren't hurting Joao. <br />Fortunately, the new balls have come in a good moment and he's been able to break at the right time. He's very happy w/reaching SF again. So that he's now reached SF in many tournaments in a row. Very important for him, even more so, taking into account where he was coming from. <br />Finally, he once again thanks the crowd for the support. He's delighted to be able to play another match tomorrow in front of them.
