Rafael Nadal got past the second round at this Grand Slam tournament.
The 14-time major champion was pushed Wednesday by 74th-ranked Diego Schwartzman of Argentina but was able to pull out the victory in straight sets on a humid day. He won 7-6 (5), 6-3, 7-5 in 2 hours, 41 minutes.
Nadal, who was upset by 102nd-ranked Dustin Brown in the second round at Wimbledon, trailed 5-3 in the first-set tiebreaker but won the last four points.
"To take the first set was very, very important," he said in an on-court interview.
