Carlos Moya became Rafael Nadal's 19th consecutive victim at the French Open Wednesday where the two-time defending champion has never lost a match. Nadal and his close friend and mentor played in the quarterfinals with Nadal winning easy: 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 .
"Not very nice?" Nadal said of beating his pal. "No. Yes. No. ... I was just trying my best."
Said Moya: "It's a little bit painful when you lose a set 6-0. IIt felt very uncomfortable, and I couldn't do much about it."

Next up for Nadal is No. 6 Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who eliminated Igor Andreev of Russia 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to get to his first Grand Slam semifinal. This has been a terrific year for Djokovic who beat Nadal in Miami on his way to the title there.
Djokovic should know what to expect against Nadal Friday: A year ago, the Serbian player quit with a back injury after losing the first two sets against Nadal in last year's French Open quarterfinals. He will have to play inspired tennis and Nadal will have to be a little flat in order for there to be an upset because this isn't the hard courts of Miami, this is Nadal's claycourt backyard.
"He's the best player in the world on this surface," Djokovic said. "He plays with a lot of motivation and confidence. Physically he's very ready."
The other semifinal Friday pits Roger Federer against No. 4 Nikolay Davydenko of Russia. Federer has won 10 of the last 15 majors and is bidding to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to claim four consecutive Grand Slam titles.
Although Nadal has beaten top-ranked Federer in the last two French Opens to deny the Swiss the only major he has never won, he smartly is casting Federer as the favorite to win...but any fan knows it's just a ploy!
"Four play in the semifinals and four have chances for the title, no? I don't think about Roger," Nada said. "I know Roger is the best in the world, and Roger beat me last time, so in my opinion, he's the favorite for the tournament."
Still, Federer remains my pick to win this year.
