Wimbledon 2018: Rafael Nadal Knocks Out Alex De Minaur, Reaches Fourth Round To Retain No. 1 ATP Ranking

Rafael Nadal has reached the fourth round of the tournament after an impressive defeat over Australia's Alex De Minaur.
The Spaniard, 33, gave no rooms to threats from the Aussie in their first ATP FedEx encounter and conveniently knock him out in straight sets 6-1 6-1 6-4.
Having won the match, Nadal is guaranteed of retaining his standing in the ATP world ranking as number one which will be published on July 16.
Speaking about the match, Nadal expressed his delight at retaining his standing in ATP ranking saying, "Of course, I prefer to be No. 1 than No. 2, no doubt about that. But I really didn't come here to hold No. 1. I just came here to try to do the best tournament possible. Of course, is very possible to be already in the second seek, winning three matches."
It has been a tremendously successful year for the world number one who had a fantastic time during the clay-court season in which he recorded 11th title at three different tournaments - Rolex Monte Carlos Masters, Barcelona Open and Italian Open.
The two-time champion will face in the fourth round Czech Jiri Vesely who defeated Fabio Fognini in four sets by 7-6 (7-4) 3-6 6-3 6-2.
