Nadal through after Djokovic withdrawal
07/06/2006 - 13:51:57Rafael Nadal progressed to the last four of the French Open after quarter-final opponent Novak Djokovic withdrew midway through their match with an injury.
The Spaniard had been leading 6-4 6-4 in sets and 40-15 on Djokovic’s serve in the opening game of the third set when the young Serbo-Montenegrin pulled out with a lower back problem.
Nadal, the defending champion at Roland Garros, will now play either fourth seed Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia or unseeded Frenchman Julien Benneteau in the semi-finals.
