French Open 2017: Rafael Nadal cruises into quarter-finals at Roland Garros

French Open Venue: Roland Garros, Paris
Dates: 28 May- 11 June

Rafael Nadal continued his superb form with a dominant 6-1 6-2 6-2 win over Roberto Bautista Agut to move easily into the French Open quarter- finals.

The Spaniard, 31, is looking to become the first man to win 10 titles at a single Grand Slam event.

His victory was not quite as simple as Friday's incredible 6-0 6-1 6-0 defeat of Nikoloz Basilashvili but fourth seed Nadal has not dropped a set yet.

He will face another Spaniard, Pablo Carreno Busta, in the last eight.

Live scores and schedule Carreno Busta, 25, reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final with a 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-7 (6-8) 6-4 8-6 win over Canadian fifth seed Milos Raonic.

Carreno Busta, seeded 20th, failed to convert six match points in the deciding set before eventually grinding down last year's Wimbledon runner-up. And a first career win against a top-10 ranked opponent will be rewarded with a meeting against nine-time champion Nadal.

Margaret Court is the only player to have won 10 or more titles at one Grand Slam event, winning the Australian Open on 11 occasions between 1960 and 1973.

Nadal now has a 76-2 win-loss record at Roland Garros with his only defeats coming against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009 and Novak Djokovic in the 2015 quarter-finals.

It is the 11th time he has reached the quarter- finals at the French Open - a record shared with Roger Federer. World number two Djokovic could match that record when he faces Albert Ramos-Vinolas later on Sunday.

Djokovic and Nadal are seeded to meet in the semi-finals. Japan's eighth seed Kei Nishikori survived a scare to beat unseeded South Korean Hyeon Chung in five sets.

Nishikori, 27, needed almost four hours to win 7-5 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 0-6 6-4 in a third-round match finished on Sunday after the previous day's rain delay.

"I think the rain helped me a lot, because i was really down in the fourth set and mentally i wasn't ready," said Nishikori, whose only Grand Slam final appearance came when he lost at the 2014 US Open.

"I knew I had to change something to beat him, so I think I made some adjustments to make it a little better than yesterday."

Big-serving American John Isner , seeded 21, was knocked out in his third-round match by Karen Khachanov of Russia, who won 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-3).

The 21-year-old will now face British world number one Andy Murray in the fourth round on Monday.

French 15th seed Gael Monfils reached the fourth round for a seventh time when compatriot Richard Gasquet withdrew from their rain-delayed match with a thigh injury.

Monfils, 30, won 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 4-3 to set up a last-16 meeting with third seed Stan Wawrinka.
