LONDON (Reuters) - Rafael Nadal believes the best example his successful generation have offered up-and-coming tennis players is that they never stop battling to beat each other but remain friends off the court.

The world number one showed his fighting qualities again on Saturday when he lost the first set to unheralded Kazakh Mikhail Kukushkin before storming back to win 6-7 (4) 6-1 6-1 6-1 and land a place in Wimbledon's fourth round.
