Rafael Nadal may have only turned 21 in Paris on Sunday, but he is seeking his third consecutive French Open title. Nadal has never lost a match at the clay court tournament and kept his perfect record intact Monday when he beat former number one Lleyton Hewitt 6-3 6-1 7-6. His next opponent is another former number one: Carlos Moya, the 1998 French champ.
"I'm playing very well in training at the moment and it gave me confidence for today," Nadal said after the match.
No man has won the title three times in a row since Bjorn Borg in 1980. The last female player to do it was Monica Seles in 1992 but Justine Henin can also complete a hat trick if she wins the title this year.
