Nadal Beats Thompson to Reach Quarter-Finals

World number 61 Thompson gave Nadal plenty to think about, but missed a set point to force a decider in his first meeting with the 20-time grand slam champion.
Top seed Nadal, who claimed his 1,000th career victory by coming from behind to beat Feliciano Lopez on Wednesday, has never won the Paris title.
Playing in his first tournament since taking a record-extending 13th french open crown across the french capital at Roland Garros last month, Nadal will face fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta for a semi-final spot.
Carreno Busta, who has reached the US open semi-finals and french open quarters this year, needs to win the title this week to have any chance of snatching the last ATP tour finals spot from Diego Schwartzman.
Nadal raced through the opener against thompson in just 31 minutes, breaking twice and sealing it on his fourth set point after a brief stutter from 40-0 up in the seventh game.
