French Open 2014: Will Rafa Nadal win his 9th title?

Winning option:Yes Near the end of the third set, Novak Djokovic was gasping for air like a desperate sole that had found its way into the fish-unfriendly Seine River.

With Rafael Nadal serving at 4-2, Djokovic summoned whatever modest strength he had left and forced five deuces in a dense, tense game. In the end, a weak Djokovic backhand found the net after a scrambling Nadal retrieved consecutive balls from beyond the forehand and backhand doubles alleys.

Background

Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal improved his French Open record to 61-1 after beating big-hitting Dominic Thiem of Austria 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 on Thursday.

Serena Williams suffers her most lopsided major loss, ousted in second round at French Open

The Spaniard’s only defeat at Roland Garros was in the fourth round against Robin Soderling five years ago. He was never in danger of losing this time, but was occasionally on the back foot as Thiem went for his shots throughout the match and broke the top-seeded Nadal’s serve twice.

“It was a dangerous match, dangerous opponent today,” Nadal said. “I am happy with the way I resisted. When I had to play long points I did well. When I had to attack and move him, I think I did well.”

King Carlos might be ready to give up his throne but Spain's "King of Clay" shows no signs of abdicating any time soon.

Rafael Nadal, an eight-time winner at Roland Garros, booked his place in the quarterfinals following a straight sets win over Dusan Lajovic.

Rafael Nadal produced another imposing display of claycourt tennis at Roland Garros on Saturday to crush Argentinian Leonardo Mayer 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 and reach the last 16 of the French Open.

Seeking to become the first man to win five straight titles in Paris and the first to win nine times at the same Grand Slam, Nadal has lost just 19 games in getting to the last 16.
