It took just an hour and eight minutes for the world No.1 Spaniard to win and now he is two victories away from a record 31st ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title and an 11th title in Monte Carlo, reports Efe.
"It was a perfect match. The ball speed suited me. I felt comfortable on the court," the 31-year-old said. "Dominic is one of the best players. I am very satisfied."
In the upcoming round, Nadal is set to take on Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov, who defeated Belgium's David Goffin 6-4, 7-6(5) in the quarter-finals.
It took the world No. 5 one hour and 46 minutes to prevail over world No. 10 Goffin for the seventh time out in eight career encounters.
