Rafael Nadal is very satisfied with his 6-3 6-1 win over Nick Kyrgios on Thursday in Madrid. The Spaniard player gave some really positive answers after struggling a lot against Fabio Fognini in the first round. 'I played really well tonight', Nadal said.

'Since the beginning of the match, I committed just a few errors. I think I returned the ball very well, even better than normally. think I served very well. I made a step forward compared to yesterday. Of course, to be able to win 6-3, 6-1, whatever the second was, I can't remember, I think it's great news.

I think it's not normal to win against an opponent like this because Nick is a really good opponent.' In the quarter-finals he will face David Goffin, already beaten last month in Monte Carlo: 'The match was very difficult.

The first set actually was quiet tough. Tomorrow I'm expecting a tough match. It's going to be one of the best players. He's very fit. He's up there with the good players. I know that I have to play at my highest level, perhaps similar to today or even better.

I have to hit with my forehand stronger. I think my backhand was good, and my forehand was there. I think I have some margin to do it even better tomorrow, to step forward. Hopefully I will make it to the next round. Tomorrow is a day I have to be ready and give my 100%.

I know if I am not playing my best, I probably not going to have the chance to win. I need to be ready for anything. Let's see what's going on tomorrow.' ALSO READ: Stan Wawrinka: 'Djokovic is going through what Nadal and Federer went'
