The Spaniard beat the Argentine Mariano Navone 6:7(2), 7:5, 7:5 at the clay court tournament in Bastad. Nadal had to struggle for four hours against the South American, who is ranked 36th in the world. Nadal must beat Croatian semi-final debutant Duje Ajdukovic on Saturday to reach his first final since Roland Garros 2022.
