Nadal sets up semi-final showdown with Federer at Roland Garros RG19
PARIS - Rafael Nadal continued his march towards a record-extending 12th French Open title by steamrolling a sorry Kei Nishikori 6-1 6-1 6-3 to book his place in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
“Being honest, personally for me the main thing is being in the semi-final,” said Nadal, who would not be drawn into talking about Friday’s 39th meeting between the two great rivals. Playing on the back of two consecutive five-set matches, Nishikori never managed to mount any form of a challenge and was easily wiped off court by Nadal.Not only did Nadal have the numbers in his favor, but Nishikori’s game had failed to catch fire since the beginning of the tournament.
