Barcelona Open Final 2019 Live

Barcelona Open Final 2019 Live On ESPN Channel.4k. Barcelona Open live stream: How to watch tennis for free online .... and live coverage from the men's and women's finals of Wimbledon in 2019. BARCELONA OPEN RESULTS are here for fans to keep up to date with what’s set to be a thrilling week of tennis. Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem remain in action and Express Sport will bring you live results as they happen.


Dominic Thiem was impressive in a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Spaniard Jaume Munar in cold and overcast conditions on Thursday at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. Third seed and 2017 finalist Thiem, who lifted his first ATP Masters 1000 crown at the BNP Paribas Open (d. Federer), is through to the Barcelona quarter-finals for the third consecutive year.

He will next face France’s Benoit Paire, the recent Grand Prix Hassan II champion (d. Andujar) or Argentina’s Guido Pella, the Brasil Open titlist (d. Garin) in February. After an exchange of service breaks mid set, Thiem capitalised on his third break point with consecutive errors from Munar to take a 6-5 lead and then closed out the 52-minute opener when his Spanish opponent mis-timed a drop shot. Light rain, causing slippery conditions, briefly stopped play shortly after Thiem had broken Munar for a 2-1 advantage in the second set.

 Munar won just three points in the next four games as Thiem completed his 11th match win of the year in 90 minutes. Two-time former champion Kei Nishikori knocked out #NextGenATP Canadian No. 16 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 6-3 in 84 minutes. The fourth-seeded Japanese star will next play Spanish lucky loser Roberto Carballes Baena, who beat Chile’s Cristian Garin, winner of the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship title earlier this month, 6-4, 7-6(2) in one hour and 55 minutes. Seventh seed Daniil Medvedev recorded an ATP Tour-best 23rd match win in 2019 after a 6-3, 6-2 win over American Mackenzie McDonald in 80 minutes.

He now plays Chilean lucky loser Nicolas Jarry, who held his nerve and played a perfect deciding set tie-break to beat former World No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov, the No. 13 seed from Bulgaria, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(2) in two hours and three minutes. Jarry beat second seed Alexander Zverev in the second round on Wednesday. Rafael Nadal is out to add to his record 11 Barcelona Open wins when he takes to the clay in Catalonia. The 32-year-old Spanish tennis legend is unmatched on the red dirt at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona.
 And he will be desperate to make up for last weekend’s shock Monte Carlo Masters exit at the hands of Fabio Fognini. Rafael Nadal was not the only big name in a strong Barcelona Open field, however, with five of the ATP’s top 10 men on show. Alexander Zverev is out along with Stefanos Tsitsipas but Dominic Thiem and Kei Nishikori still pose threats to the 17-time Grand Slam winner. The Barcelona Open is now in full swing with Nadal comfortably into the quarter-finals where he will meet German Jan-Lennard Struff. Express Sport is on hand with live results as the action unfolds on the latest step towards the biggest clay court tournament of the year, the French Open.
