Rafael Nadal has easily advanced to the second week at the Australian Open with a 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 win over fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta.
The top-ranked Nadal had beaten Carreno Busta in all four of their previous matches, including the quarterfinals of the 2017 French Open.
It is the 47th time that Nadal has reached the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament, trailing only Roger Federer's 67 and Novak Djokovic's 50.
Nadal hasn't dropped a set in his first three matches at Melbourne Park. He will next play either Nick Kyrgios or Karen Khachanov.
