Nadal extends his unbeaten run
Rafael Nadal extended his unbeaten run over Frenchman Richard Gasquet to 15 to reach the Cincinnati open third round.
The Spaniard who has not lost a set to Gasquet since 2008, won 6-3 6-4.
Roger Federer’s withdrawal from the tournament means Nadal will return to world number one for the first time since July 2014.
Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev’s 10-match winning streak ended with defeat by unseeded American Francis Tiafoe.
