Nadal reaches the 'semis' for the sixth time in Paris without losing a set

For the sixth time in his 16 appearances at Roland Garros, Rafa Nadal reached the semi-finals without losing a single set in the first five matches of the tournament. The Spaniard also achieved it in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2017. And all those years had a common denominator for him: in the end he lifted the champion trophy.

In 2020, his balance is 15-0 in sets and 91-34 in games. In this second section he had better coursesLike 2017, when he only gave up 21 games before the penultimate round, although it is true that Pablo Carreño retired when he was playing and lost against him at the beginning of the second round.

In 2008 Nadal left, with just 25 lost and in 2012 the figure was 30. While in 2007 (40) and 2010 (50) suffered something else. Nadal won the tournament three times without missing a single sleeve: 2008, 2010 and 2017.
