Nadal reaches third round of Madrid Masters

The Spaniard's struggles have continued in recent weeks, despite the switch to his favoured clay surface, and he will have welcomed a 6-4 6-3 win in front of his home crowd.
Johnson had made an assured start, holding his first service game to love, but Nadal gradually tested the American's resolve with thumping ground strokes.
Earning his first break point with a blistering backhand pass, Nadal forged 3-2 ahead when Johnson sent his forehand wide.
