Fifth seed and seven-time former champion Rafael Nadal won a high-qualify encounter against Nick Kyrgios 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday for a place in the Internazionali BNL d'Italia quarter-finals. "I'm playing well, I feel like I am playing at the right level," said Nadal. "Today was an important victory for me, of course, against a very difficult opponent. And coming back after a tough first set that I had a lot of opportunities. I believe, after the first six games I think I had more chances than him, but I had couple of mistakes on those chances. And then on the tie-break I hit one double fault and then he played great."
