Rafael Nadal defeated German Peter Gojowczyk 6-3, 6-4 in one hour and 45 minutes to reach the quarter final in Beijing on Wednesday. A single break of serve in each set was enough to give the world number two a hard-fought victory. He was given a crystal tiger for being elected “most energetic player” at the China Open. Our champ faces Martin Klizan next after Ernests Gulbis retired against the Slovakian when trailing 6-2 3-0. (via BBC)
