On Day 11 of
the 2012 Roland Garros tournament the second half of the quarterfinals were played and unlike
yesterday's thrilling results, today's matches went
according to the script. 6-time French Open champion
Rafael Nadal continued his inexorable journey to his 7th final here without losing a set, although he was tested by excellent play from compatriot
Nicolas Almagro, who fell to 0-8 lifetime against the King of Clay. In the other men's quarterfinal, the Valencia Terminator
David Ferrer prevented the Top 4 from becoming the Final Four at this major tournament by beating
Andy Murray 6-4 6-7(3) 6-3 6-2 to set up an all-Spanish semifinal on Friday.
On the women's side,
Maria Sharapova improved her play from the round before to dismiss
Kaia Kanepi 6-2 6-3 while
Petra Kvitova had a slightly more complicated path when she dropped the first set but ultimately prevailed
3-6 6-2 6-4 by winning the last 4 games of the match.
