Nadal loses a set to Schwartzman but powers into French Open semis
The Peninsula
PARIS - Rafa Nadal dropped a set at Roland Garros for the first time in two years but roared back to beat 10th seed Diego Schwartzman 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-0 on Wednesday and reach the French Open semi-finals.
Nadal had beaten Schwartzman twice before at Roland Garros, but he seemed to have met his match as the Argentine played with confidence, dominating the longer rallies and for a brief moment it seemed he had exposed a chink in the Spaniard's armour. Dominic Thiem was the last player to take a set off Nadal in the 2019 final but Schwartzman ended the 13-times winner's run of 36 consecutive sets at Roland Garros.More Related News
