Rafael Nadal vs Thomaz Bellucci, Rio 2016 Olympics: How to watch live on TV, mobile and online
Rafael Nadal takes on Thomaz Bellucci in the quarter-finals of the Olympics.
2008 Olympic Gold medallist, Rafael Nadal, resumes his quest for a second Olympic gold medal following his comeback from a wrist injury against local hero Thomaz Bellucci with the winner making his way into the semi-finals of the tournament. Nadal last played a competitive tournament in the French Open where he had to withdraw following the injury.
The Spaniard has been in ravishing form in this Olympics, having not dropped a single set in victories over Federico Delbonis, Andreas Seppi, and Gilles Simon. He will be gunning for what will be his second gold medal in the Olympics, having had to back out of the tournament four years ago in London with a setback.
Nadal has a busy schedule since his return to competitive tennis, playing in the doubles tournament with Marc Lopez where he has progressed into the finals and has been assured a silver at the very least. Nadal has a perfect record against Bellucci in the games gone past, winning on each of the five occasions without dropping a single set.
Meanwhile, Bellucci, has had a brilliant tournament thus far out of nowhere, going past the likes of Dustin Brown (via retirement), Pablo Cuevas, and David Goffin for a quarter-final berth. He faces his toughest battle against the number three and will be hoping that the local support will turn the tide in his favour.
