Gael Monfils (FRA) - Through to quarter finals

It was another great day for the Serbs on day 10 at Roland Garros; and we now know that the
womens' final will feature a Serbian in action. Ana Ivanovic was first on court, and deposed 10th seed
Patty Schnyder 6-3 6-2. Jelena Jankovic was next up, and comfortably defeated unseeded Spaniard
Carla Suarez Navarro by the same scoreline. Ivanovic will take on Jankovic in the semi finals.
Another Serbian to feature in semi-final action will be mens second seed Novak Djokovic, after the
Australian Open champion had a straight-sets win over unseeded Latvian Ernests Gulbits. But the
straight-sets scoreline flattered Djokovic and didn't do Gulbits justice, with all 3 sets being closely
fought affairs and with Gulbits having served for the second set but unable to complete the job. The
final score was 7-5 7-6 7-5, giving Djokovic a solid hit-out.
No such dramas for second seed Rafael Nadal, who demolished Nicolas Almagro 6-1 6-1 6-1 to
continue his unbeaten run on the Roland Garros clay. The semi-final clash between Nadal and
Djokovic promises to be one to remember.
