Watch the best of the action as Rafael Nadal romped into the fourth round with a 6-3 6-2 6-2 victory over Richard Gasquet.
Nadal flawless against Gasquet
The 10-time Roland-Garros champion has now won 34 completed sets in succession in Paris en route to the fourth round.
Half-way to a “golden set” – 24 unanswered points – the crowd gave a huge roar when Nadal shanked a forehand, allowing their long-time hope his first point of the match at 0-3. It did little to stem the flow of games though as Nadal romped to 4-0 in just 13 minutes, passing the Frenchman stranded at net. Gasquet’s coach and former Davis Cup teammate, Fabrice Santoro, nodded his encouragement as his charge finally ended his horror start.
