If anyone still thought Rafa Nadal was still virtually unbeatable on clay - even despite poor recent form - Novak Djokovic punctured any of those notions.

The Serb defeated nine-time French Open winner Nadal in straight sets in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros today and ESPN tennis analyst Luke Jensen says Djokovic's exploits today have armed with another new bow.

He told Off The Ball: "Djokovic now possesses something that he never really had before: an ultimate confidence against everyone on the planet. He's been No 1 before and won Grand Slams before against the big guys, but not like this and not in such dominating fashion. Djokovic is clearly the man in the game of tennis right now."

As for Nadal, Jensen believes the Spaniard still has "bite in his bark" and that his major target is still to reel in Roger Federer's 17 Grand Slam record - which is only three titles away.
