World number one and top seed Rafael Nadal steamrolled fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the Australian Open last 16. Carreno Busta only won three points after three games and it was the tone of the first set, which Nadal powered through in just 29 minutes - winning 100 per cent of his second serves and hitting nine winners. Nadal's ferocious forehands and shot selection left Davis Cup team-mate Carreno Busta helpless and it continued in the second set, which was wrapped up two minutes quicker than the first.
