The World no. 4, who is chasing a sixth title in Madrid, was off to a flying start, breaking his opponent twice and winning the first set in just 37 minutes. The rain-affected match, saw the Serbian raise his game in the second set, as he came back from a break down on two occasions to force the tiebreak.
Nadal, who failed to serve out the match at 6-5 in the second set, got two minibreaks in the tiebreak against Kecmanovic’s 1 to seal the one-hour-and-55-minute contest 6-1, 7-6 (7-4).
The Spaniard, who won a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, had a 20-0 start to the season, before the perfect run ended with a defeat to Taylor Fritz at the Indian Wells final. In addition to the first major of the year, Nadal had also won the Melbourne Summer Set and the Acapulco titles.
If the 35-year-old is able to win a fourth title of the season, by ending a five year title drought in Madrid, he will equal Novak Djokovic’s record of 37 ATP Masters 1000 crowns.
