Rafael Nadal hammers Dusan Lajovic to reach French Open quarter-finals

Defending champion Rafael Nadal romps into the French Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets win over Serbia's Dusan Lajovic.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal has eased into the French Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets hammering of Serbia's Dusan Lajovic.

The top seed will now meet fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in a repeat of last year's final at Roland Garros.

Nadal clinched the opening set 6-1 against the world number 83 before a 6-2 triumph in the second saw him take firm control of the contest.

The world number one surprised everyone when he was broken when trying to serve out the match at 5-0, but he eventually came back to see off Lajovic 6-1.
