Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal, last years runner-up David Ferrer and Wimbledon titlist Andy Murray were a trio of fourth-round winners Monday at the
French Open.
Vernon
Hargreaves III Buccaneers Jersey . The world No. 1 Nadal improved to a
remarkable 63-1 lifetime at Roland Garros by crushing Serb Dusan Lajovic 6-1,
6-2, 6-1 on Court Chatrier. The lopsided affair saw the ruthless Spanish great
assume set leads of 5-0, 4-0 and 5-0 on Day 9 of the clay court fortnight. "I
played with no mistakes and having the control with the backhand, with the
forehand from the baseline," Nadal said. "Sure, you never know whats better, but
in theory, the theory says that its better win like this than win longer
matches." The 13-time major champion Nadal is trying to become the first man to
capture five straight French Open championships. Music superstar Prince was in
attendance Monday, nearly hidden in the stands, sitting in the very back row of
the presidential box at Chatrier clutching a shiny cane. When the Nadal match
ended, Prince rose to leave then paused and paid his respects by applauding. The
fifth-seeded Ferrer, meanwhile, had a hiccup in the fourth set in an otherwise
routine 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1 victory over 19th-seeded former University of
Illinois standout Kevin Anderson of South Africa. Ferrer will now appear in his
10th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal. He reached his first and only Grand Slam
final here a year ago before getting whipped by his fellow countryman Nadal in
an all-Spanish title tilt. The two will meet in a rematch of that match in a
quarterfinal on Wednesday. Nadal, who will turn 28 on Tuesday, is 21-6 lifetime
against the 32-year-old Ferrer, including 3-0 at Roland Garros. Ferrer, however,
upset Nadal on some red clay in Monte Carlo back in April. "I look forward to
playing against David (Ferrer), it is going to be a very difficult match," said
Nadal. The seventh-seeded Murray, seeking a trip into only his second-ever
French Open semifinal, humbled 24th-seeded Spanish left-hander Fernando Verdasco
6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) on Court Lenglen. The British star improved to 10-1 lifetime
against the hard-hitting Verdasco in reaching his 13th straight Grand Slam
quarterfinal. Murrays quarterfinal opponent will be 23rd-seeded French crowd
favorite Gael Monfils, who cruised past Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, 6-0,
6-2, 7-5. The 2008 semifinalist Monfils is now into his fourth career Roland
Garros quarter. The quarterfinals will commence Tuesday when second-seeded 2012
runner-up Novak Djokovic takes on eighth-seeded Canadian Milos Raonic and
sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych encounters 18th-seeded Latvian Ernests Gulbis. The
former world No. 1 and six-time major champion Djokovic still needs a French
Open title to complete a career Grand Slam.

undermanned Philadelphia 124-112 Friday night, handing the 76ers their 10th
straight loss.PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Russell Henley made good on his second
chance at the 18th hole Sunday and won the Honda Classic after a wild day that
began with Tiger Woods walking off the course with a back injury and ended with
a four-man playoff. The closing hour at PGA National was a series of blunders by
the contenders -- and even the winner. Henley was in a three-way tie for the
lead, 40 yards left of the flag on the par-5 18th in regulation, when he chunked
a chip so badly that it only got halfway to the hole. He had to two-putt for
par, and then watched as Rory McIlroy nearly made a great escape from an
otherwise bad afternoon. McIlroy, who lost a two-shot lead, hit a 5-wood from
236 yards to just inside 12 feet for an eagle and the win. It narrowly slid by
on the right. In the playoff, Henley was the only player to reach the 549-yard
hole in two, and he two-putted from about 40 feet for birdie. Ryan Palmer missed
a 10-foot birdie putt. McIlroy went from the back bunker to the front collar and
had to scramble for par, and Russell Knox laid up and missed a 20-foot birdie
attempt. "This isnt going to sink in for a while," Henley said. Thousands of
fans who spent hours in the warmth and wind of south Florida surely felt the
same way. David Hearn (67) of Brantford, Ont., finished 6-under par to tie with
American Will MacKenzie for sixth. Woods abruptly quit after 13 holes and was
driven straight to his car. He later said he had lower back pain and spasms, and
was unsure if he could play at Doral next week. And then came all the mistakes
by four guys trying to win. Palmer missed a 5-foot par in regulation that would
have won it. He closed with a 69, the only player in the last six groups to
break par. Knox needed a birdie on the last hole, but he went from the fairway
bunker to the rough, well over the green and then calmly made a par putt just
inside 10 feet for a 71 to get in the playoff. They all finished at 8-under 272.
Canadas David Hearn fired a final round 67 to finish two shots off the pace. The
conditions were tough. The play was so underwhelming that McIlroy said that if
he had won, "It would have felt undeserved in a way." He wont know that feeling.
Instead, the 24-year-old from Northern Ireland closed with a 74. It was his
second straight tournament in stroke play that he played in the final group and
shot 74. He tied for ninth in the Dubai Desert Classic. His undoing came on thee
16th, when McIlroy missed on a 6-iron from the bunker and went into the water,
making double bogey.
Major
Wright Buccaneers Jersey. He fell out of the lead for the first time with
a bogey from the bunker on the 17th. What should ease the pain was his finish --
a 5-wood he couldnt afford to miss that dropped from the sky to 12 feet left of
the hole. "I was fortunate I was in the playoff," McIlroy said. "Seventy-four
wasnt good enough to get the job done. To go out with a two-shot lead, you have
to play well enough to win the thing. If I had won today, I would have counted
myself as lucky. Ill pick myself up, get back it, try to get back at it at Doral
and try to get the job done." Henley, who closed with a 72, won for the second
time and qualified for the Masters. He also moves into the top 50 in the world
ranking, making him eligible for the Cadillac Championship next week at Doral.
It was the first playoff at PGA National since 2007, which also featured four
players. McIlroy was at 13 under after a birdie on the fifth hole and appeared
to be on his way, even after twice making bogey from the bunker to close out the
front nine. PGA National was tougher than ever after a weekend of sunshine, and
the stiff breeze in south Florida. The average score was 71.8, two shots harder
than the third round. The contenders made it look like a beast. Henley tied for
the lead by chipping in for birdie on the 14th, only to deposit his tee shot on
the par-3 15th into the water for double bogey. Palmer missed a 6-foot birdie
putt on the 14th hole, which wasnt nearly as damaging as the par putts he missed
from 8 feet on the 16th and 5 feet on the 18th. Knox fell out of a brief share
of the lead when he tried to play from the right rough on the 14th and had his
shot carom into the water for a double bogey. At least they were still around.
Woods was just a guy in a red shirt at PGA National when he shook hands with
Luke Guthrie, his playing partner, and told him he was done. "Too early to
tell," Woods said in a statement about playing next week at Doral. "Ill get
treatment every day to try to calm it down. Just dont know yet. Wait until
Thursday and see how it feels." It was the second straight year that the worlds
No. 1 player walked out on the Honda Classic. A year ago, McIlroy was so
frustrated with his game that he quit after 26 holes. At least this time,
McIlroy stayed until the wild end. It just wasnt the finish he wanted.
