Spain's Rafael Nadal trailed in the second set before overcoming No. 5 seed Cameron Norrie of Britain 6-4, 6-4 on Thursday to reach the Nordea Open quarterfinals in Bastad, Sweden.
The opening set was on serve before Nadal broke Norrie in the seventh game. He then fell behind 4-1 in the second before sweeping the last five games. He recorded 22 winners and only seven unforced errors. The unseeded Nadal will meet No. 4 seed Mariano Navone of Argentina next in his first quarterfinal since January.
Navone was a 6-4, 6-2 winner against India's Sumit Nagal. Kazakhstan's Timofey Skatov ousted No. 3 seed Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, and seventh-seeded Nuno Borges of Portugal rallied past countryman Henrique Rocha 1-6, 6-4, 6-0.
Hamburg Open
No. 5 seed Arthur Fils of France advanced to the quarterfinal in Germany with a 7-6 (3), 6-2 victory against Serbian Laslo Djere.
Fils, 20, saved six of seven break points and became the fifth man to reach multiple Hamburg quarterfinals before the age of 21, a list that includes Novak Djokovic and Mats Wilander. Up next is No. 2 seed Holger Rune of Denmark, a 6-4, 6-3 winner over Argentina's Marco Trungelliti.
Top-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany outlasted Frenchman Hugo Gaston 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 and No. 8 seed Zhizhen Zhang of China defeated Italy's Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 7-6 (5).

Brazil's Gustavo Heide knocked out No. 2 seed Ugo Humbert of France 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-3, while Frenchman Quentin Halys defeated Lukas Klein of Slovakia 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-4.
