Acapulco 2022 Final, Rafael Nadal vs Cameron Norrie: Where to watch, TV schedule, Live stream details and more
In a rematch of the Australian Open final, Rafael Nadal beat top seed Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the summit clash of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, Mexico, on Friday.
The Spaniard saved all 11 break points he faced to extend his career-best start to a season to 14-0, which includes title wins at the Australian Open and the Melbourne Summer Set.
The fourth seed will lock horns with sixth seed Cameron Norrie in the final. The Brit defeated third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 earlier in the day.
The former World No. 1 has won all three of his meetings with the Brit without dropping a set. Their most recent clash was at last year's Roland Garros, where Nadal raced to a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win.
While the Spaniard is seeking a staggering 91st career title, the Brit is eyeing his fourth.
No wonder the fans are on their feet🔥
After an impressive match, @RafaelNadal wins the battle against Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-3 in Acapulco.

Where is Rafael Nadal playing?
The Spanish southpaw is currently playing at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, Mexico, which is an outdoor hardcourt tournament at the ATP 500 level. Nadal is a three-time champion at the event, having lifted the trophy in 2005, 2013 and 2020. He also finished as the runner-up to Sam Querrey in 2017.
Who is Rafael Nadal playing against?
Rafael Nadal will cross swords with World No. 12 Cameron Norrie in a battle of two lefties.
Norrie travelled to Acapulco on the back of a title win at Delray Beach. With four more victories in Mexico this week, the 26-year-old has extended his winning run to eight matches.
Norrie has been in a rich vein of form over the past few months. Last year, he claimed a couple of titles, the biggest of which was the Indian Wells Masters. The Brit also finished as runner-up in four events in what was his career-best season.
He has turned his season around this year after a brief stutter in the Australian swing. Norrie currently has a 10-5 win-loss record for the year and will hope to make a statement against his much-fancied rival.
