2017 Miami Open R3 Rafael Nadal bt. Philipp Kohlschreiber 0/6 6/2 6/3

Next opponent - Nicolas Mahut

MIAMI (AFP) - Rafael Nadal came back from an awful first set to defeat Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber 0-6, 6-2, 6-3 and advance to the fourth round of the Miami Open on Sunday.

The Spaniard, playing his 1,000th ATP match, suffered just the 14th 0-6 set of his career, claiming just 33 per cent of first-serve points won and making a string of unforced errors.

After looking badly out of sorts, he was able to rediscover his form in the second set and in the end ran out a comfortable winner.

Nadal will next face France's Nicolas Mahut, who beat Argentine Guido Pella 6/4 6/3.
