Clay king Rafa sets up all-Spanish quarter-final

Rafael Nadal looks determined to hang onto his crown as the king of clay.

The world number one maintained his record of not having dropped a set at this year’s French Open with a 6-1 6-2 6-1 victory over Serbian Dusan Lajovic in the fourth round yesterday.

Lajovic, 23, was playing in only his second grand slam tournament and it was certainly a baptism of fire for his first match on Court Philippe Chatrier.
