Nadal was down during the first two sets 4-6 and 3-6 before the World’s number two showed his real quality in the next three sets 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.

"After the first two sets, the next three sets maybe I play my best game on grass in my life," Nadal said.

In the quarterfinals, the Spaniard will face Tomas Berdych. World No. 1 Roger Federer will play against Juan Carlos Ferreros, American Andy Roddick will face Frenchman Richard Gasquet and Novak Djokovic will play against Marcos Baghdatis.
