French Open 2019: Nadal powers past Federer into final

Defending champion, Rafael Nadal powered past Roger Federer in the French Open semi-finals on Friday, winning in straight sets.

The 33-year-old produced an outstanding performance to beat Federer 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in the last four on Court Philippe Chatrier.

The win moves him within one victory of a record-extending 12th Roland Garros title and it was Federer’s worst Grand Slam defeat in 11 years.

Nadal will face either world number-one, Novak Djokovic, or Austrian fourth seed, Dominic Thiem, on Sunday.
