Rafael Nadal stormed into the French Open finals today by beating fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.
In a match that spanned just one hour and 46 minutes, Nadal showed total control of the game after Ferrer made initial gains by winning a couple of break points. As the game progressed, Nadal's hard-hitting volleys and agility found no match in Ferrer who struggled to keep pace with the former, who is just one victory away from the seventh French Open title. Nadal showed no signs of slowing down as he continued to hold on to the remarkable run he is having in this edition of French Open.
Nadal will meet the winner of the second semi-final between world numbr one Novak Djokovic and third seed Roger Federer.
Rain did interrupt the match after the first set, but after a 55-minute break and with the Sun coming out, Nadal raced to win the rest of the sets in a pretty quick fashion. Nadal said that he would be matching the second semi-final as it would be one of the greatest matches in French Open this year.
Earlier, Nadal reached the semifinals by beating Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-3, and Ferrer by defeating fourth seed Andy Murray 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-2.
