Rafael Nadal of Spain eyes the ball against Thomas Johansson of Sweden during their Barcelona Open tennis match in Barcelona, Spain. Nadal won 6-1, 6-4. The top seed is bidding to become only the second man to win the title in three successive years. Reuters reports that Nadal does not feel any extra pressure on the court because of the historic streak. "When I step on the court, I don't think about records," he said. "I just think about the match itself and the opponent because they deserve respect. I have said many times that I will lose some time. I don't know if it will be here, or Rome, or Hamburg or Roland Garros, but I don't put a date on it. I think the record will be around for a long time, so there is no more pressure."
