Norrie to face Nadal in Barcelona
British No 2 Cameron Norrie is set to take on Rafael Nadal on Friday in the Barcelona Open quarter final.
Norrie who is ranked 58th in the world got to the last 8 of this tournament after 8th ranked David Goffin retired in their clash due to injury.
Goffin quitted in the second set when the game was 6-0 3-5, setting up Norrie to advance and relish the chance of moving into top 50.
20th Grand Slam Nadal who saw off Kei Nishikori will be facing Norrie for the second time after beating the Briton early this year in the Australian Open 3rd round.

I think Rafa Nadal is almost unbeatable at his home Barcelona. For him it is something special to play there is where he was trained as a tennis player.
Very true. Norrie will have to defile the odd to make that happen
