Four time champion Nadal, who is bidding to become only the second man in history after Bjorn Borg to win five or more Roland Garros crowns, has dominated his compatriot in their six-year rivalry. Earlier, Nadal clinched his 200th clay court win to move into the French Open quarter-finals, beating 24th seed Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci 6-2, 7-5, 6-4.
