Novak Djokovic has beaten Rafael Nadal in straight sets to advance to the French Open semi-finals.

It means Nadal will have to wait at least another year to win a 10th title at Roland Garros, as he suffered a rare defeat on clay.

Indeed, the Spaniard had not lost at that Grand Slam event since 2009.

In the end, it was a comfortable victory for Djokovic, who has never won the French Open, winning by 7-5 6-3 6-1.

Andy Murray is currently in action against David Ferrer in the last-8 and as things stand, is on course to reach the last-four.
