New York - Second seed Rafael Nadal was still hot at the Flushing Meadows here as the 2010 US Open champion needed only two hours to defeat Croatian Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to enter the fourth round.
“I think I played a correct match today. I am happy with 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 against a player who came to this tournament winning against tough opponents like Davydenko and Verdasco,” said Nadal after his match Saturday, reports Xinhua.
