Nadal: Gonzalez can go all the way

WORLD number two Rafael Nadal believes Fernando Gonzalez can topple more big names on his way to Australian Open glory after the Chilean won their quarter-final match.

Gonzalez won 6-2 6-4 6-3 as the Spaniard, who went into the match as hot favourite after his five-set triumph over British number one Andy Murray, struggled from the outset against the power of his opponent.

Nadal was hampered by an injury to his upper leg but feels Gonzalez could now go all the way.
