Rafael Nadal cruised past Dutch 26th seed Botic van de Zandschulp in the third round of the French Open on Friday, 6-3 6-2 6-4, to keep his hopes alive of facing world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals. The ‘King of Clay’ boasts 13 Roland Garros titles among his 21 majors, the most among men, although he was denied a 14th last year when he lost in the semi-finals to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.

In any case, it was another outstanding performance from the King of Clay as he continues his quest for a 22nd Grand Slam singles trophy, having previously won at Melbourne Park earlier this year. Also, following his battle, a wonderful incident occurred that touched the hearts of everyone present.
