Rafael Nadal made it to the semifinals in his bid for a second Olympic singles gold, overcoming his Brazilian opponent and a raucous, flag-waving home crowd in the Rio Games' main tennis stadium.

Spain's Nadal, the No. 3 seed, came back to beat 54th-ranked Thomaz Bellucci 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 in 2 hours on Friday.

Nadal was the singles champion at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, then missed the London Games four years ago because of a knee injury.
