"Honestly, I felt very comfortable this afternoon out there", said Nadal, who is going for his third Wimbledon singles title.

Barty also gave a dignified response to calls Nick Kygrios and Bernard Tomic should follow her lead and take a break from the sport.
"I think it's possible". There have been some tough times, that's for sure'. French Open champion Nadal is chasing a 19th title at the Majors having recently captured a 12th Roland Garros crown.
Barty is also through to the last 16 of the doubles after teaming with Victoria Azarenka for a 6-2 6-3 win over Rebecca Peterson and Timara Zidansek.
