    Rafael Nadal has dominated American teenage wildcard Darwin Blanch in the opening round of the ATP's Madrid Open, for just his second win since January

    Rafael Nadal has dominated American teenage wildcard Darwin Blanch in the opening round of the ATP's Madrid Open, for just his second win since January


    Nadal demolished Branch 6-1 6-love to move into a second round meeting with the man he lost to last week in Barcelona - Aussie Alex de Minaur.

    The 21-year age gap between 37-year-old Nadal and 16-year-old Blanch is the biggest in Masters 1000 history.

    By the time Blanch was born Nadal had won three grand slams.
