Nadal out for revenge in French final

Rafael Nadal roared into his fifth French Open final today to set up a clash against the only man ever to have beaten him at Roland Garros.

Nadal, who turned 24 yesterday, brushed aside Jurgen Melzer 6-2 6-3 7-6 (8/6) in two hours and nine minutes in this afternoon's second semi-final after Robin Soderling took almost three-and-a-half hours to see off Tomas Berdych in the first.
