Rafael Nadal criticises the schedule of the French Open following his tough second-round victory over Martin Klizan.

Rafael Nadal has criticised the French Open schedule following his battling victory over Martin Klizan.

The Spaniard, who overcame Klizan in four sets after losing the opener, is due to go up against Fabio Fognini in the third round.

"Today I was playing almost three hours on court, and my opponent was watching the TV in the locker room," BBC Sport quotes Nadal as saying.

"So if you told me that's fair, I say that's not fair. The only thing that I can do is be positive, smile, and try to win my match and try to be ready for tomorrow."

Nadal has won six titles since returning to action from injury in February.
