Nadal into French final after dispensing Ferrer

Rafael Nadal is one victory away from a record seventh French Open title after thrashing David Ferrer 6-2 6-2 6-1 in the semi-finals at Roland Garros today.

The Spaniard has been in awesome form this fortnight and it was no different today, Ferrer simply having no answer to the sustained excellence of his opponent, who is on course to break the record he currently shares with Bjorn Borg.
