Reuters: Clearly Nikoloz Basilashvili had come to face Rafa Nadal with a plan but, like Mike Tyson said, everybody has a plan until they’re punched in the face.

And that’s what happened -- in tennis terms -- to the Georgian when he took on the irrepressible Spaniard in the French Open third round on Friday.

The brutality of Nadal’s destruction of the Georgian on the Roland Garros main showcourt was withering.The statistics within the 6-0 6-1 6-0 pummelling make for grisly reading. Grisly for Basilashvili, grisly for Nadal’s next opponent Roberto Bautista Agut, grisly for everyone in the draw.
