Rafa's last two opponents played pretty well, and had very little to show for it. But here's a thought: Match starts at 11am, and the weather will be cool. PCB could sneak out a set before Nadal fully wakes up.

Sorry Mox. PCB left the court w/ an ab injury. He got taped up but could not finish. He retires at 2-6 0-2. Rafa through to SF.

Sorry for PCB. After the first, it was a given. Not a way to do it, but Nadal is now 100-2 in best of 5 matches on clay.
