Ivanovic -The Queen | 25-0 for Nadal

Ana Ivanovic pulled out the most satisfying fourth round victory over Petra Cetkovska. Ivanovic never allowed the opponent to get her name in the score card as she over whelmingly became victories by a 6-0 6-0 margin. Ana will be joined in the quarterfinals by No. 3 Jelena Jankovic, No. 10 Patty Schnyder and qualifier Carla Suarez Navarro.

25-0 for Nadal | Djokovic one step closer to meet Nadal



The King of clay moved one step closer to his 4th Rolland garros title as he demolished over No. 22 Fernando Verdasco by a over whelming 6-1 6-0 6-2 victory.

Nadal is rather familiar with his next opponent, No. 19 Nicolas Almagro, and had nothing but nice things to say about him.

“One of the toughest opponents on clay,” Nadal said. “Probably going to be my toughest match this week.”

On the other hand Serbia's No.3 Novak Djokovic had a easy match against 18th seeded Paul-Henry mathiew which the serb won by a convincing 6-4 6-3 6-4 margin.

Novak Djokovic will leave the looking ahead to others. If he’s to be believed, the No. 3-ranked Djokovic has more immediate concerns than a possible French Open semifinal against No. 2 Rafael Nadal or final against No. 1 Roger Federer.

First things first at Roland Garros for Djokovic: a quarterfinal against Ernests Gulbis, set up by three-set victories for both men Sunday. Never heard of Gulbis? Djokovic has. Knows the 19-year-old kid from Latvia quite well, in fact.

They go way back, having shared adventures on and off the court a few years ago at coach Niki Pilic’s tennis academy in Munich, Germany.

“He was destroying me in practices. I couldn’t win a match. Practice? No chance,” Djokovic said, then added with a wink and a smile: “So all the pressure’s on him, OK? He’s the favorite.”
