In the third round of the Barcelona Open, it is the king of clay Rafael Nadal taking on Colombian qualifier Robert Farah. Nadal is looking to win his second title of the year.

Nadal, fresh from his first title of the year and the eighth straight title at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters would be looking to continue his tremendous form on clay and also try closing in the Gap with the World No.1 Novak Djokovic. With his confidence on clay growing, Nadal is one of the toughest guys to beat on clay as he prepares well for the upcoming Masters events and the Roland Garros. He has a very good 22-3 win-loss record, indicating he has gone deep in all tournaments he has played.

His opponent, Farah is ranked at 286 on the ATP Charts and came with a 0-2 win-loss record and has only won the two matches here before coming into this match. His previous round victories must have done his confidence a world of good, but facing Nadal is something he would be looking as more of experience rather than a match.

The two are facing each other for the first time and it seems like Nadal should not have many problems disposing Farah's challenge.
