Nadal comes from behind again at French Open

PARIS (AP) — Rafael Nadal had to come from behind yet again at the French Open and reached the fourth round by beating Fabio Fognini 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4 Saturday.

After dropping the opening set in his first two matches, Nadal trailed 4-2 and was down a break at 6-5 before surging ahead for his 18th consecutive victory.

Nadal seeks to become first man to win eight titles at the same Grand Slam event. He improved to 55-1 at Roland Garros despite enduring some wobbly moments for the third match in a row.

Nadal committed 40 unforced errors and faced 11 break points. He next plays No. 13-seeded Kei Nishikori, who became the first Japanese man in 75 years to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros, beating Frenchman Benoit Paire.
