Rafael Nadal won his 18th consecutive Grand Slam match by beating fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
The top-seeded Nadal saved all four break points he faced against No. 23 Lopez and hasn’t been broken once this year at Flushing Meadows.
Nadal won the French Open and Wimbledon this year to raise his total to eight major championships. He needs a U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam.
Nadal will now play No. 8 Fernando Verdasco in the first all-Spanish quarterfinal in U.S. Open history.
