Nadal reached his first quarter-final since capturing his record ninth French Open title in June with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gojowczyk at the China Open on Thursday.
Rafael Nadal is back in form on the tennis court - and in his sharp-tongued critiques of the ATP tour.
The second-seeded Spaniard reached his first quarter-final since capturing his record ninth French Open title in June with a 6-3, 6-4 win over German qualifier Peter Gojowczyk at the China Open on Thursday, then blasted the tour for its choice of tennis ball at the tournament.
Nadal said "the ball is so bad here. If you throw the ball on the floor, the bounce goes everywhere."
The 14-time major winner has complained previously about the ball in question - manufactured by Head - but he also criticized the tour for switching ball manufacturers week after week, saying it could result in injuries.
