More to come, says Nadal
The Spaniard was the beneficiary of an injury to rising star Novak Djokovic, the Serbo-Montenegrin having to pull out of their last eight clash at the start of the third set due to back trouble.
Nadal, who extended his winning run on clay to 58 matches with the victory, was ahead 6-4 6-4 at the time but admitted afterwards his game has still not peaked at Roland Garros this year.
